At least with me, it is not political. He was a rich man who was cheating on his wife, and in the process killed a young lady. Because he was a powerful millionaire, he got away with scott-free. Seems he might have assisted a nephew in avoiding a murder charge for decades as well. And I think he bailed another one out of a rape case.
Simply a rich thug who believed laws are for others, not his family.
If this thread gets "political" we have to close it, as we do not permit politics here.
Personally, I'd rather have seen him in jail for his crimes, but remember that those who pass judgement on him (Congress) are millionaires as well.
