I have a swamp story for you, which could only happen in the swamp. According to Roll Call, the U. S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced last week that a congressional staffer faces a five year stretch in prison for falsifying a security clearance form. Isaac Avant has been serving as chief of staff from Mississippi Congressman Benny Thompson,
highest ranking Democrat in the House Committee for Homeland Security. Mr. Avant has been staff director for that committee during the week. On weekends he had to go to jail. Now. That's because last January he was convicted of failing to file federal income tax returns. He was senced to four months in jail and find one fifty thousand dollars, but being a high ranking figure in the Washington establishment, he was
allowed to serve his time on weekends. Now, apparently Mr Avant failed to mention any of this on his security clearance form for the Homeland Security Committee, so again he faces charges. This time he could get five years behind bars if convicted, and there's no talk about doing time on weekends. Now. For a while, nobody, including Roll Call, could find out if he still works for the Democrat congressman. Or if he had been terminated, well we now know
he still has his job. And that, my friends, is how they roll in the swamp. Jail, what jail not for me,
