Former Fox News Worker Gets Probation for Smuggling Paintings From Iraqi Palace

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A former Fox News technician who smuggled a dozen paintings from an Iraqi presidential palace into the United States was sentenced to one year of probation and fined $2,000 Friday.

Benjamin James Johnson, 27, of Alexandria, had pleaded guilty in June to a single count of smuggling. He had faced up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

Johnson's attorney said his client did not know he was breaking the law by bringing the paintings to the United States.

1. Just the Template for the Future Bushevik Amerikan Empire

Haven't you noticed the Busheviks favor double standards?

One law for aristocracy, one law for Serfs...

Welcome to Imperial Amerikan. It's going to get worse before it gets better and it might never get better.

DON'T GIVE UP THOUGH!
