It would of been nice if officials could have assessed what truly occurred and was capable of discerning the nuances in this case to determine if there was actually a case in the first place. But it turned into a political smear and a waste of tax money in the end with no one actually charged with the alledged crime.

It is a shame he will be pardoned. He should take responsibility for his crime, serve his time like a man and set an example to others.

This is another example of political power spiraling out of control. We need a agency consisting of common citizens that can expose these power mongers for who they are. If this were a common citizen committing this crime their sentence would have been subtantially greater. Politicians are not gods and should face the same punishment as common citizens, including being imprisoned in general population. I bet if this were enacted our so called "elected" officials would think twice before committing the crimes they do.
