Former gov. George Ryan (Rep.) found guilty on all counts.
His real crime was his stance on the death penalty. Otherwise, his Rethug buddies would have taken care that this case never went forward.

1. "Found guilty" != "will pay any penalty"
I would not at all be surprised if the convictions are overturned on an unprecedented technicality, and he walks free with just time served.

2. Like Fyfe Symington here in Arizona.
Remember, poor minorities committ crimes. Rich white guys make mistakes!

Is poor, oppressed George Ryan a poor minority? I rest my case.

3. They tried.
"Bulldog" Fitz is not so easy to sidetrack, especially since, with his track record, serious attempts at blocking him are tantamount to admissions of guilt.
