Doug Burgum had some words of wisdom this morning on CNN

The Secretary of the Interior was asked about the possible ten year prison sentence for the former Olympian accused by the administration of vandalizing the reflecting pool.

He said that just because someone is a "former something" doesn't mean they can escape the law.

Hmmm........ Something tells me that Doug would make an exception for one "former something", however.

Hearn is undoubtedly not having a great holiday with the full weight of the corrupt DOJ attempting to railroad him to a possible ten year federal stint. That has to be a tad stressful.
