Demo-crook wrist slap of the day
Regular readers will remember Mauricio Celis.
Guest-blogger See-Dubya was on the Friend of Hillary’s trail in January 2008, tracked his Mexican money laundering ties and bizarro police impersonation antics, and reported on his indictment.
Today, he was re-sentenced to 10 years’ probation for impersonating a lawyer. It’s the Demo-crook wrist slap of the day:
A judge threw out the jail sentence for a prominent Texas Democratic Party donor and fundraiser convicted of posing as a lawyer, resentencing him Monday to 10 years probation.
Mauricio Celis, known for his fundraising for such high-profile Democrats as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, raked in millions of dollars in attorneys’ fees as founder of CGT Law Group International, which actually provided services to law firms such as translators and transportation…
…Prosecution witnesses painted Celis as a hot-tempered playboy with a penchant for topless clubs who flashed an expired reserve deputy badge when confronted by police.
Celis also told CGT clients that he was an attorney in good standing and licensed in Mexico, but none of that was true.
Meanwhile, he used his firm’s jet and his connections to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democratic funds, including $100,000 from one event for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and $119,500 to state candidates as well as the maximum $2,300 to Clinton when she ran against President Barack Obama in the Democratic primary in Texas.

When a nation of laws changes to become a nation of men, a republic is soon to become an oligarchy.
Just wondering, what would a typical sentence for posing as a lawyer be for us plebians?
So, he supported Hillary and still, got off ?
Velly Interresting…
A democratic fund-raiser ?
How about, a public beat-down ?
The lawyers ALWAYS support dem’s and get a huge advantage in lawsuits.
Why would anyone want to impersonate a lower life form, except at parties?
This is more a mental health issue.
From South of the border ?
Ah, memories. I had wondered what happened to him.
I also wonder what happened on the “impersonating a police officer” charges?
To refresh everyone’s memory in case you didn’t click:
P.S. Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.
Huh. Weird. I get a pay check every week for doing the same thing.
Gee, I was just thinking the same thing.
Add a fine and you’ve got the makings of a great way to cut the deficit.
If this was a Republican, the MSM would be hyperventilating about it on Page 1 on every major newspaper in the country.
Make that the World.
This hope/change bullshiite just keeps getting better and better.
We are the world…we are the children…blah, blah, blah blah blah, blah blah, so let’s start livin’
that song sucked then, it sucks now!
It’s like this guy is my doppleganger.
Where’s Judge Isaac “The Hanging Judge” Parker and Judge Roy “The Law West of the Pecos” Bean when we need them.
wonder if he got the money from the gulf coast or sinaloa cartel…kinda like stanford…
I know how we can burn him…..he flying around in a corporate jet…..in left world that should get him strung up!
he was flying….PIMF
good chap, very good. it pays to have low friends in high places.
Old Tanker said:
Nah, that won’t work. You can’t fly in a corporate jet; but they can.
Exhibit A: Al Gore.
Exhibit B: Nancy Pelosi
Exhibit C: Barack Obama
(The President flies across the country just to give a speech or sign a bill, and, on the rare occasions when he’s not flying somewhere, someone else is using his plane for a photo shoot.)
If the Left doesn’t complain about any of their own politicians flying jets all over the world, why would they complain about one of their biggest donors and fundraisers flying jets?
