    Let's see, Fumo got over 5,000 purchases of items and he is claiming these as "gifts". That's a lot of gifts. Look at the verdict just in on City Council aide Wright. He got one, yes, that's ONE, gift for $1,000 and got convicted. To a politician who gets caught, only then do they call it a gift. So if it was a gift, why did Fumo and Arnao try so hard to keep it out of the public's eye?

    This case is only about the last five years or so what about the other twenty five years? Could you imagine the numbers must be up in the tens of millions.GUILTY

    I think the prosecutor has a great idea. Instead of a salary, I should just ask my employer for $600 worth of Acme "Gift" certificates, and also ask for $400 of Exxon "Gift" certificates, etc. Then none of it would be taxable since they were all "Gifts". Thanks Vince. In reality, does anyone believe all the various things Fumo got were gifts, and that they did not have to be reported as income? Let the IRS take a big bite out of him.

    After this trial is over someone needs to look into how Fumo forgave a CA loan of over $500,000 to Mark Segal and the Elton John concert. Mark Segal is deep in this and it needs to be exposed.

    Fumo really got lots of gifts. Perhaps he had Santa Claus on a nice senate contract. Who knows? After all, Santa Claus only works one day out of the whole year. That's one day more than the work some the people Fumo had on contract did!

    Stop it! Vinnie is a mensa member and he is much smarter than us and deserves to rip us off. How could we even think that poor Vinny would have to ride around in a 3 year old Navigator. He's royalty!

    Zauzmer is intelligent but over reaching and sarcastic. The Sen could care less about a parking place. His driver left him off at the door no matter where he went. Ruth was the exec director so if she gave him gifts it was legal for him to accept. And a lot of people find it sensible and advantageous to trade in cars every three years. It seems the govt has given up trying to convict Ruth. There is no evidence against her at all.
