Rep. Trey Radel Busted in Cocaine Sting

[Straight Shooter]

Florida Rep. Henry "Trey" Radel pleaded guilty on Wednesday morning to misdemeanor cocaine possession and was sentenced to one year of probation.

The first-term Republican entered the plea in court, acknowledging that he purchased 3.5 grams of cocaine for $250 from an undercover federal agent.

“I’ve hit a bottom where I realize I need help,” Radel told District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Robert Tigno during his court appearance.

“I want to come out of this stronger,” Radel said, adding that he wants to “continue serving this country.”

The 37-year-old freshman lawmaker was arrested and charged Tuesday following a federal “buy and bust” operation on Oct. 29.

Radel admitted he bought cocaine from an undercover Drug Enforcement Agent in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. in October. After the transaction, federal officers visited the politician at his apartment later that day and informed him that he would be charged for the drug purchase. In court Wednesday he said when officers approached him, he handed over the small amount of cocaine that remained.

In a statement Tuesday, Radel apologized for making an “extremely irresponsible choice.” He said he intends to seek treatment and counseling, but did not discuss his political future.

His lawyer said Radel has already been in outpatient treatment in Washington but says the politician plans to seek full treatment in Naples, Florida.

Radel, who is married and has one son, was elected in 2012 to represent the 19th District of Florida.

I don't care about him being a Republican, what irritates me is the hypocrisy. This is a man who voted for drug testing for food stamp recipients. Un fucking believable


Just saw there's a thread about this already. My apologies

No doubt, that's some crazy ass irony in play.

Never heard of misdemeanor possession of coke. I've always understood it to be a felony if you have even residue in a straw, and you're fucked.

It seems to be the trend with those passionately and adamantly opposed to anything that they turn out to be the ones partaking in the very things they are so dead set against. The studies of homophobic men who are monitored for arousal while viewing gay men together on film was much higher than when they watched a man and woman being sexual on film. It seems to be the republicans who continually get caught in this situation. Rick Santorum proclaiming sex should only be for procreation even between married people is a perfect example. He is more than likely an ass hound who fucks whores 3 times a day. Newt Gingrich preaches family values and that marriage is a holy institution between a man and woman yet has cheated on his past wives with his future wives. Rush Limbaugh with his years of "throw the book at drug users!" then gets caught with over 1000 Oxycontin bought illegally from his housekeeper and he was also doctor shopping. Had he not been Rush Limbaugh with millions of dollars to spend on a defense he would have been in prison under federal mandatory sentencing guidelines for possession of that quantity.

Whenever I hear someone being homophobic and anti-gay I would bet big money that they fantasize about gay sex.

The reality is that republicans are against everything until it happens to them. Then they just go to rehab or blame it on being drunk or being possessed by the devil and the mindless minions believe it and give them a pass.

Very insightful post, we can all see you learned absolutely nothing while having to be banned from a lax pornography forum. I wonder how many hours you desperately paced in front of your computer just waiting for your ban to be over so you could argue with someone else on the internet. :rofl:

Yeah about as much insight as you offered here with your very limited knowledge of scientific matters. Care to give us a refresher course in Conservation of mass again? Or as you call it Mass Conservation. I eagerly await your dissertation on Thermodynamics while you are at it.

If anyone was desperately pacing in front of their computer, it seems it was you as you are the one starting up with this crap, not me.

Go fly a kite.

:1orglaugh this post just proves my point exactly. Look how desperate you are to argue with someone on the internet. But sadly no thanks, I actually have to care what you think enough to take your bait and I sadly don't. Plus when wille and assari are the only ones agreeing with the majority of your posts you really do have to question the way you are posting.



Also thank you so much for this negative rep, I will cherish it through this holiday season. "The way Petra explained it to me, your work is off limits. Other than that you are fair game. Bring it".. My favorite part was "Bring it" since it highlights what a sad existence you must live. *hugs*

Big difference doing a job on cocaine than doing cocaine instead of looking for a job. What Trey should do is what he would want the guy sitting next to him to do if he did the same thing.

Says the woman who cared enough to critique and interpret a innocuous smiley.

You are very talented in some areas, political debate is not an area that accentuates those talents.

 

[Will E Worm]

Politicians, police, fire fighter, governors, mayors, or anyone else in a civil servants job should have harsher penalties than everyone else.


Including all federal and state government employees.

 

[wdoall]

just like Marion Barry he should be thrown out of the office and never allowed to run again, he's garbage, Marion Barry was garbage.

It was difficult, but I finally managed to masturbate to this thread. I believe it was the image of Blue Countach pacing naked in front of his computer that did it for me.
