T-Bone isn’t Cory Booker’s only criminal pal, folks!
We learned this week that Senator Booker (D-Twitter) wrote a letter back in September urging leniency for Elizabeth Holmes, the infamous ex-darling of the biotech sector who was recently convicted of defrauding investors.
Booker, best known to most Americans for his juvenile antics during Supreme Court confirmation hearings, urged the judge to hand down a “fair and just sentence” to the disgraced Theranos founder whom he says is a “friend.”
“As author Bryan Stephenson has said, each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve done. I firmly believe in the possibility of rehabilitation and in the power of redemption for anyone,” Booker wrote. “And I believe that Ms. Holmes has within her a sincere desire to help others, to be of meaningful service, and possesses the capacity to redeem herself.”
Booker also cited his personal dedication to “unconditional love” or whatever the fuck that means? Don’t ask me. Couldn’t tell you what that has to do with lying about a blood-testing technology to get filthy stinking rich.

Holmes faces 20 years in prison.
