So now that former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen’s three felony convictions have been overturned on appeal, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is calling for Jensen’s case to be resolved without another trial. Predictably, Jessica Bucher is on board with Van Hollen’s recommendation, going so far as to say that if allowed to plead to a series of misdemeanors “He’ll be punished far more severely that way than any of the other legislators over the years who did the same thing and skated.”
Now someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but Jensen won’t be punished “far more severely” than Chuck Chvala and Brian Burke, both of whom did the right thing by accepting responsibility for their roles in the same criminal behavior Jensen engaged in and accepting the punishments meted out. Apparently, Jess Bucher seems to think Jensen should be held to a lesser standard, making me wonder why that could be. However, I’m sure it has nothing to do with Jensen’s political affiliation, because that’d expose Jess Bucher as nothing more than a conservative shill…oh wait, too late.
