#1 I applaud the decision. How can he pursue his destructive lifestyle while enjoying the safety of executive incarcerated ?

#2 Plus, it is unlikely that he will leave Earth, so this is kinda sorta like house arrest.

OK, OK, he could get to low earth orbit pretty easy, but that is about it.

#3 Nb. This is Kerry's stepson. Kerry is one of the most corrupt of all our Congresscritter insider traders.

Remarkably, [Obama appointee Judge Ronnie] Abram's husband was a federal prosecutor in Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and part of the team that seized passports and restricted travel for high-profile defendants like Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates.

Archer did not face the same restrictions. As he awaited trial since summer 2016 and since his conviction in summer 2018, Archer has been allowed to travel freely across the globe.

His travel log, enumerated in the court documents, reads like the travels of an American secretary of state: Russia, Mexico, China, Spain, Italy, the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan and Ukraine, the money laundering capital of Latvia, Hong Kong, London, Singapore and the French Antilles, to name a few.

(Maybe he is indeed traveling as a representative of the former Secretary of State i.e. as bagman for stepdad John Kerry.... Inquiring minds want to know)

#6 Right, sorry - I sit corrected. Chris Heinz, Teresa's son, actually appears to have some integrity: he reportedly parted ways w his biz partner Crackpipe over the latter's involvement w Burusma.

Chris Heinz split from business partner Hunter Biden over board seat on Ukrainian energy company
