Let’s see, avoiding taxes for more than a decade, paid a porn star to keep her quiet during an election to win the presidency, tried to off Mike, Organized an insurrection…hmmm time served sir. Good thing they only found classified documents all over his public house and not a bong… because a bong, that’s 30 to life! Specially if it was full of water that may or may not have contained meth.

    Even though it’s meth, 30 years is fucking STEEP. You’d never see somebody getting that much for alcohol in their system unless they killed someone.

      IIRC it’s because they classified the bong water as the controlled substance. As such it’s treated as if she were smuggling a half pound or so of meth rather then bong water that tested positive for methamphetamine.

      After reading the article it seems like she isn’t actually facing 30 years. She is being charged with posession and that can be punished with up to 30 years. I’m sure no judge would actually give her maximum sentence over a tiny amount dissolved in bong water. Still fucked up that she’s being charged at all though.
