25. Comparing the two cases is rediculous and simply a deflection of the what has happened

She served plead guilty, accepted responsibility, and served her time. Now she has house arrest and probation.

The Indian consular does not have diplomatic immunity from prosecution of events that happen outside her consulate. She was arrested and allowed to make several phone calls on her own cell phone something most people are not allowed. Whether she is guilty or not is up to the courts.

IMHO Hunt has done her time and people need to layoff.
