Im just saying, many people agreed the punsihment was too harsh and the sentence was reduced.

Tax evasion is breaking the law too.......hows our new Tresasury secretary doing?

Aren't there sentencing guidelines? They could have appealed the sentence also.

If the Treas. sec. evaded taxes then the IRS, under the Repub. administration should have prosecuted him - unless the Repubs don't view tax evasion as breaking the law. The Bush admin. politicized the justice department and if they thought he broke the law, I am sure that would have done all they could have to prosecute him (including firing people who refused to do what they wanted and then hiring hacks from some crappy southern school). Does Bob Jones university offer an accounting degree?
