Ex-congressman says he's 'given up on America' after sentenced for 3rd conviction

A former Democratic congressman from Chicago, heading to prison for the third time, says he has “given up on America” and plans to move to Africa after he serves his latest sentence.

At his sentencing Thursday, Mel Reynolds, 66, got six months in prison for failing to file tax returns on more than $400,000 he received for consulting work.

He also received a scolding from federal Judge Robert Gettleman, who told the Harvard graduate he could recall thinking to himself in the early 1990s that Reynolds had tremendous promise.

“It's a tragedy that you squandered the opportunities you had and the type of person you could have become," Gettleman said.

One thing to keep in mind, Bill Clinton commuted this Sex Offender Thug's criminal sentence.

Wonder how long he'll last in Africa? That is if he actually leaves, unlike Whoopi and Rosie O'Donnell.

So let me get this straight. You give up on America because you have gone to prison 3 times? Obviously you are just an entitled person who feels laws don't apply to you.
