Backpage co-founder Michael Lacey has been sentenced to five years in prison, but not for sex trafficking, or for aiding and abetting prostitution. He was instead convicted on one count of money laundering, for financial transfers of which he kept the IRS apprised. Probably the prosecution confused the jurors to the point of getting them to compromise by convicting Mr. Lacey of something, even though they acquitted him of most of the bogus charges against him. This is an appalling miscarriage of justice.

I suggest writing to Vice President Harris, asking her to commit herself to pardoning Lacey if she is elected president. People might want to pose this to Dishonest Donald as well. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, the two leading candidates will say about the matter.
