Scott Drury: “As a Former Federal Prosecutor (#FFP), I have decided that I can best use my talents at President of the United States. Therefore I am stepping out of the race for IL Governor, and starting to build my campaign operation to run for President. Because, Mike Madigan.”
As a former federal prosecutor, he’s decided to represent the Juggalos in their battle against the FBI. Pro bono no less. He’s quite a guy — just ask him.
