Via CBS an Associated Press report: Politician Charged With Coke Distribution
(AP) South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury for distribution of cocaine.
The indictments accuse Ravenel and another man of distributing less than 500 grams of cocaine starting in late 2005.
…
Thomas Ravenel is the state chairman for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign.
Ravenel is Rudy’s kind of guy, just like Bernie Kerik. It’s a problem when you’ve been a prosecutor, you meet all of these people and it’s not always easy to remember where. Maybe he needs index cards to keep the good guys and bad guys separate. There was less than half a kilo of Colombia’s major export involved, so he wasn’t a major player, but when you’re the state treasurer people get nervous.

some of my friends paid their way through college by dealing drugs. giuliani could be onto something here, reduce the federal deficit by dealing coke….
There are persistent rumors that some agencies already do it.
Legalize and tax, the best solution.
Cocaine is schedule II.
We need better regulation, but cocaine is already legal.
All of it is imported and processed by one company, for profit.
The cocaine is extracted and sold for medical use, the remaining coca is sold to a soft-drink company.
I’m for legalizing and taxing all drugs. I spent 10 years in law enforcement, and the “War on Drugs” is a total waste of time and money. If people want drugs they’ll get them, and the current drug laws can’t stop them. Filling up prisons with people who have a chemical dependency is not a sane policy.
Prohibition didn’t work, and the War on Drugs is failing in exactly the same way with the same costs – corruption, crime, and contempt for the law.
I didn’t know the Republicans had any good guys. 🙂
I think it’s a bit effete for a “good ol’ boy” to be caught hustling cocaine, it should have been ‘shine. The old traditions are dying.
Andante, I was merely referring to a method to separate those who were going to jail, from those who managed to avoid it.
