    REF: 2: OK, Jack! Pl. allow me to elaborate as follows:

    #1: The convicted & condemned politicians will either be in “5-Star Prisons” or will be imprisoned at their own luxurious mansions.

    #2: Although sentenced for many years - for most of them - the sentences will be reduced drastically; under one pretext or the other.

    #3: They may return a very small % of their illicit fortunes - merely as a token - to satisfy the gullible masses.

    #4: No so clandestinely; they will remain as politically active, under one flag or another.

    #5: They will continue with their “normal” activities of stealing the taxpayers; in more refined & sophisticated ways [for not getting caught AGAIN].

    #6: The “new laws” will ensure “better safety” to the crooks.

    Thus they will continue to live happily ever after!

    I can see your point and understand your pessimism..but let's hope that the main players in all this filth go down for good.

    It'll take time - a lot of it. But I hope so too.
