The GOP makes a living wagging it's hypocritical finger at everyone else, that's another difference. They RUN on moral probity.
Tim Nolan was a judge. Tim Nolan was a conservative activist. Tim Nolan was a human trafficker.

If you want to know how Tim Nolan went from a judge to a man jailed for trading heroin for sex, you might start at the Rabbit Hole.
That's a weathered dive bar, now silent and shuttered, just off a country road in rural Northern Kentucky next to a crumbling trailer. Nolan owned the bar and the trailer, as well as a sprawling farm in the hills of southern Campbell County.
The Rabbit Hole is a real place, but it's also an apt metaphor for the dark and disorienting twists in Nolan's life.
He crusaded against vice, became a tough-on-crime judge and school board member, labored for the Republican party, then the tea party, then Donald Trump.
And then came the women in the trailer and other properties, women he forced to have sex with him in exchange for heroin or threats of eviction. There was the dust-up over the Ku Klux Klan photo at the Rabbit Hole; a brain tumor; and finally an investigation that drew national attention.
Nolan abruptly pleaded guilty to promoting human trafficking in February. He'll be sentenced Thursday.
"I guess you never quite know people," said Ken Moellman, Jr., who worked with Nolan on conservative causes. "I genuinely do struggle to understand how and why."
As a judge, Nolan was known for being strict – something he was proud of. It earned him a reputation as a "hanging judge," an Enquirer profile from 1981 notes.
"The word from offenders is, 'If I get in trouble, I don't want to come before Nolan,' " he said of himself.
Three decades later, he thanked a judge for her tolerance after he pleaded guilty to 21 counts involving human trafficking, trading heroin for sex with women – some of them tenants, some of them underage.
There were 19 victims over a 10-year span, he admitted as part of his guilty plea.
Nolan agreed to serve 20 years as a result of the plea agreement. At 71, with a litany of medical ailments, this could be a death sentence.
