A former Dem mayor of Fall River, Mass., got some terrible news from a judge today and was sentenced to six years in prison after being convicted of corruption. Jasiel Correia was a rising star in the Dem Party after being elected mayor when he was just 23.

But the power went to his head and he will have six long years to think about it. He was convicted of taking bribes from marijuana companies trying to open shops in his town. He tried to extort money from these businesses a corrupt act U.S. District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock called “reprehensible.”

“What I have before me is an absolute lack of remorse,’’ said Woodlock before calling his corrupt scheme “a corrosive crime, it undercuts, it eviscerates a community. If we can’t trust each other, if we can’t trust our government, where are we? This is at the core of who we are.”

Was he a rising star because of his intelligence, ability to influence voters, because his devotion to America or was it because he was known by democrats to be corrupt?

Why should this penny ante mayor show remorse? Similar corruption reaches all the way to the White House and no one is talking about sentencing him. Hell, DC runs on the stuff.
