Rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, a former member of the rap group known as the Fugees, filed a motion Monday arguing that his former lawyer, David Kenner, had relied on artificial technology to draft his losing case.

  1. “As previously reported, Michel was convicted in April on 10 criminal counts related to an international conspiracy involving the highest levels of the American government.”

    …so why aren’t “the highest levels of the American government” going to jail WITH him?

  2. Couldn’t tell From the article, but I’m guessing his prosecution was started by the Trump Justice department, and he figures (probably correctly) that he will get a pass from the Garland “Justice” dept.
    BTW, will Barry have to give up the illegal $2 million donation? Haha. Just kidding.
