boston city council

U.S. Rachael Rollins strode into a political campaign, in order to pull her flawed candidate over the finish line. She constructed a despicable crusade against a potential District Attorney, that had derided her "Rollins 15" plan to not prosecute crimes like wanton and malicious destruction of property and being a drug dealer. The sitting US Attorney for Massachusetts, spun a lie out of whole cloth, she then, personally leaked this lie to the press, with the goal of eliminating her political rival. She also used her personal cell phone and encrypted messaging apps to further this conspiracy, another violation of law, from the esteemed US Attorney. This is Massachusetts political corruption in action. Don't miss this episode! Feel free to share!
