Everyone else was given the presumption of innocence and given the opportunity to repay the money without penalty.
Just as Slippery himself has been in the past when he's paid back 27K or so without penality. OK? He hasn't been treated differently until now.
You just don't want to get it. Not only are these charges on a different level of seriousness because they involve deliberate and intentional deception personally executed by S
Slipper himself (not his staff) - but that Dept of Finace had given Slippery 3 prior warnings and instructions to use the electronic cab charge, not the manual to stop him making similar "mistakes" he had made in past.
The difference is that Slipper was dobbed in on this occasion arguably due to a political vendetta.
Nope. You're just making excuses for him, no doubt for your own political reasons.
