Why my wife and soulmate and I understood that Honor & Honesty are the only way to prevent hurting or being hurt. Death Before Dishonor & Word Is Bond are two more wedding vows than most people make. Willingness to betray those who trusted you is a character defect that permeates every aspect of a person’s life. Like I said Death Before Dishonor. Otherwise, as here, death after dishonor. Innocent people- children even - died in terror because of a person with a flawed character. Never regretted not rolling over in my youth. My lawyer got my case dismissed, got a crooked cop, sheriff & prosecutor fired & about three dozen other cases were thrown out and people were let out. Best thing I did was hire a CD lawyer who was a former state senator who already was looking to bust up their game. Because he trusted my honor & commitment to the right path I have had a fabulous life. Called to thank him two decades later. Found his son with the same first name had his old office. But He had passed. he listened riveted while I told him the difference he had made, and how he chose mine as his test & proof of what was going on. It took place only because we trusted (but verified!) each other. He thanked me for my story. He had been close to his father but never knew the righteous damage his father had done using my case. Some lawyers are men of honor no matter what the real percentages may be. Don’t say “all lawyers are crooks” in front of me. I know better. He even saved a man going to the chair for poisoning his 8 children. Schwab the DA was using his babysitter, the prime suspect in the death of 8 other children who were killed by poison. It was almost all him, not me. But he is one reason I would never betray a trust. Sometimes the repercussions continue. From Honor and dishonor. I rest my case -Matt’s dad I really WAS innocent. But I still was looking at life by the installment plan. Charges stacked so high I’d never get out of the system. Always value Honor! -Matt’s dad
@@brettbanta2100 They probably barely had heard of them in detail at least. This was 45 years ago, and its a hearing.

@@swampghost72 This is 45 years ago. Why do some of you keep speaking like it's an indictment of current America LOLOL!! They're all dead now!! It had little to do with current events.
The genius senator, "the ones on the east side were in control of the east coast and those on the west side were in charge of the west coast". Thank you senator, almost as good as hank Johnson asking a general, seriously mind you, if the extra weight of the b-52 bombers based on guam would cause the island to tip over and SINK. When the general reacted as any normal person would, confused and asking to make sure the question was what rep Johnson meant and the frustrated rep responded in a way making it clear he wasnt and demanded an answer as guams existence depends upon it!
It would be funny, if it wasn't true! It's difficult to believe, but you can see the entire thing right here on You Tube. He never even offered any retraction or explanation, he is just patently stupid. The man is a complete moron, but not as stupid as the people that elected him over and over. He was a career politician! Elected and re-elected time & time again. Notice also how not ONE of his constituents attempts to clarify him or correct his response! Nope! They all just sat there while he babbled on and on! Whenever some one mentions term limits, it is immediately shot down! What is an absolute moron gonna do with himself if he did not have that job!? It is frightening!
Yes, although it might be obvious that East side MC’s control the east coast, this is an official Congressional hearing and facts need to be stated, even though it might be stating what might be obvious.
Well why aren't you a noble individual with strict moral fortitude or then again you could just be front'n due to the guilt you feel for snitching on all your friends! I guess the best question to ask a badass like yourself is what criminal activity have you ever committed?
@15:45 “Several millionaires in the club?! Do you know who the millionaires might be?!” Said with a voice inflection that can only be described as ‘how can I solicit campaign donations from them’. Shortly after that the video cuts out for a period of time, that I have to assume is him getting (or attempting to get) their contact information. It’s a good thing that the senator was sitting down during this exchange, otherwise we would have seen his intense erection and wet pants over discovering there are millionaires that he didn’t already know about.
