Hawaii Senate Dem Majority Leader Gets 3 Years in Prison for Bribery

Former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English, 55, pleaded guilty to honest services wire fraud in February, admitting he accepted bribes from a Hawaii business owner in exchange for shaping legislation that would benefit a company involved in publicly financed cesspool conversion projects...

English “peddled the power and influence of his position as a Hawaii State Senator and Majority Leader to enrich himself and betray the trust bestowed upon him by those he was elected to serve,” U.S. prosecutors said in a sentencing memo urging the judge to send him to prison for three-and-a-half years.

The sentence, a little more than three years, must send a “stern and lasting message” that corruption of elected officials will be punished, the memo said. ...

Choy is a prolific donor, as are his immediate family members and business associates. Choy, his family members, and his employees from various companies have donated more than $356,000 to political campaigns since 2014, according to campaign finance data. Of that, Choy has contributed more than $160,000 to the elections and reelections of numerous Democrats.

Choy himself has donated to 55 campaigns — including 29 sitting lawmakers — since 2014. Money has gone to former Gov. Neil Abercrombie and current Gov. David Ige. He has most recently contributed to former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s campaign for governor, and to Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi’s campaign.


"Stern and lasting message" my ass. Only life in prison will do. Singapore is a much better country than the US in this way.

Sorry to hear that. My worst fear is that the spike protein will be incorporated into the germ line; namely, those who took the clot shot and bear children will have these children also express the spike protein, so that the children are also infertile.

Yes. Obviously removing women's reproductive organs/parts are going to cause hormonal change. Those that got jabbed are exponentially happier even after a rough surgery. I've witnessed it with a good friend and my sister. Literally two months later they're a happier person.

Not going to push hard at this point building a house, but think my wife should do it. Get a hysterectomy. I know a vasectomy is easier, but I swear that vaccine has fucked her up. We're not looking for kids. I can go without at the current moment. Not her fault outside of getting the vaccine, but I don't blame her.

Interested to see long term side effects in males and reproduction that took it. It 100% messes with females and no one can convince me otherwise.

First, let’s consider what all this means. I’ll start with my point of view: Both Dugan and Cano must be prosecuted aggressively — not just for individual accountability, but to send a clear signal that domestic sabotage of immigration enforcement is criminal, not heroic. Otherwise, the rule of law, already bleeding out, will die on the operating table.

The two cases are remarkably similar. Behold:

Sitting judges,

Engaging in criminal acts,

To protect illegal alien defendants involved in violent crime and/or cartel activity,

Directly interfering with federal law enforcement.

The juxtaposition of the two eerily similar cases involving two judges in two different states arrested on the same day paints a picture. It’s a dystopian picture of decentralized, ideological sabotage of immigration enforcement inside the judiciary itself. Judges are no longer passively ignoring federal law through non-cooperation but actively working against it through affirmative criminal acts of their own.

It’s an insurrection from behind the bench.

Aggressive prosecution isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. If we wish to retain the ‘rule of law,’ that is.

The political fallout was explosive. Corporate media, Democrats, and BlueSky’s blue-checks were apoplectic, practically foaming at the mouth. In situ, silver-haired boomer protestors, supported by canes and walkers, popped up outside Dugan’s courthouse...

But some progressive legal experts were slightly more cautious. MSNBC’s legal expert, for example, wondered whether this was the “best way to handle” what are admittedly bad-looking facts for the judge. He said, “It doesn't look great for the judge, no matter how you slice it. But was this kind of escalatory action the best course of action, to actually go and arrest her, take her to court, and federally charge her? That's a big step.” ...

In short, MSNBC’s expert Dilania called for ‘prosecutorial restraint.’ In other words, maybe judges should be above the law after all, if they’re on our team.

We tried to warn them. But they couldn’t conceive of Trump winning the election.

All that said, horrified progressive politicians and hysterical corporate media are missing the point. Judges get arrested all the time. Here are three examples: Judge arrested for DUI:

Yavapai County judge accused of extreme DUI takes plea deal

Douglas County probate judge charged with felony in Atlanta

California judge who allegedly texted court staff that he shot his wife pleads not guilty

So this is not just about arresting judges.

The next thing the media missed is that Judges Cano and Dugan are categorically different from other judicial arrestees. Judges Cano and Dugan didn’t just lapse morally — they used their official judicial power to actively sabotage federal law enforcement. The two new cases don’t just show a lapse in judgment, they show judges misusing their authority to fight federal law on behalf of foreign criminal interests.

It’s an existential threat to judicial legitimacy. Some judges have apparently forgotten where their authority comes from. ...

Progressives and their media allies have been pushing back on Trump’s mass deportations, framing them as cruel and lacking proper due process. Liberal judges have been interfering with the agenda every way they can, with multiple cases having already reached the Supreme Court. Public frustration has been steadily mounting on both sides; liberals jubilant about the effective judicial resistance, conservatives furious at progressive jurists’ attempts to stymie a clear electoral mandate to remove illegal criminals.

This isn’t any sudden new Trump strategy. The Cano case shows the DOJ started working on this problem from the moment Trump took office in January. They were obviously primed to locate clear cases of judicial misconduct— and fate handed them two perfect examples on a silver salver.

Using its long-standing tools of selective reporting, media is doing its best to obscure the real facts. But now we have Twitter and Substack. And the facts are gushing out.

The progressive wailing on BlueSky is actually grief; grief at their dwindling deportations narrative, a narrative of courageous judges standing up to the Trump Administration’s cruel deportation machine. They are panicking because they suspect the double arrests will chill judicial resistance going forward (though I’ll bet we hear much less about Judge Cano’s case).

Now, instead of courageous judicial resisters, America sees lawless judges helping gangbangers and domestic abusers escape justice. MAGA sees long-awaited arrests beginning. The base sees the DOJ finally arresting the Swamp’s protectors, instead of just endlessly complaining about the Swamp.

Many conservatives have long believed (with good reason) that no matter what or who they voted for, the permanent bureaucracy and the progressive judiciary would just nullify it. But now, conservatives are seeing something they thought could never happen: real consequences for real lawbreaking— by elites. And not for minor procedural slip-ups or technicalities, but for dangerous legal sabotage that endangered innocent American citizens.

In other words, just when Democrats were celebrating over Trump’s slipping approval polls, he served up Judges Cano and Dugan. Progressives can’t help themselves. They took the bait.

Recent polls showed Trump’s approval numbers slipping slightly after weeks of media-driven attacks. Progressive pundits crowed about “shifting momentum.” BlueSky, MSNBC, and the ex-Biden team were giddy, sensing a narrative opening: Maybe Trump’s mass deportations are finally backfiring! ...

But the reality is much more damning: these cases involved violent and gang-connected criminals — defendants who judges granted special privileges that ordinary Americans like you and me would never receive. One judge smuggled a domestic abuser out of court to evade ICE; another destroyed evidence to protect a Venezuelan gang member tied to illegal firearms.

The media’s flimsy narrative about defending judicial independence won’t hold up under the harsh light of the facts. It won’t hold up because Americans can clearly sense the inherent injustice: Democrats are trying in vain to defend their two-tiered justice system — one system for protected classes of criminals, and another for the rest of us.

Just when Democrats thought they were gaining ground, Trump flipped the narrative table and is smothering them with it. He forced progressives to switch from offense —attacking Trump— to defending indefensible judges, at precisely the worst time. It’s politically suicidal.

It’s also the first cautious steps on the road to flattening the two-tiered justice system. Now the nation is on notice. Everyone, on all sides, is wondering: if the DOJ has grown an appetite for eating judges who defy federal law— who’s next?

BREAKING: Trump has officially commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, founder of one of Chicago’s most notorious gangs and a man the FBI once called “the face of organized crime in the Midwest.”

They didn't actually do nothing. There were likely laundering and trafficking opportunities associated with each of these purposely engineered disasters, as well as eminent domain investment pools.
