1. That is outrageous

Is justice ever served when it comes to the people in higher power? They should all be stripped of their roles & put on trial by a real court of law. If you had an employee who took a bribe from an outside source to sabotage his company: Will he be allowed to get of by just paying a fine? No! Firstly he would loose his job & the company would do everything to ensure his prosecution. These guys work for us, we are their employer they need to answer to us in a real trial.

2. I wonder which one of his lobby buddies is going to pay the fine for him.
