Everyone hate him. The Left is awash in gleeful delight that poor Tom will still stand trial on money laundering charges. One problem though. Yes, he may yet stand trial, but what the Left is refusing to acknowledge is Ronnie Earle's crumbling case, and the fact that the judge is not finished ruling on various motions; specifically, the motion dealing with prosecutorial misconduct.
This case Mr. Earle is hoping to prosecute has been a witch-hunt from the beginning. Irrespective of evidence -- gossamer-thin at best, events clearly show, to those not suffering the effects of willful ignorance, that Mr. Earle's conduct in gaining the indictments he sought has been anything but worthy of a man with high ethical standards. Justice is supposed to be blind, but man certainly is not. Mr. Earle knows exactly what he's doing, and he wants it so bad he'll use any means, however dishonest, to get it. The end justifies his means.
Poor Tom. He had the sad misfortune of being a conservative Republican who knows how to get things done... And the Left hates self-sufficiency. Why else would they champion the welfare state? Why else would they fight so hard to keep the poor in a virtual state of slavery?
