Being convicted of a crime is an obscenely high bar.

  Good thing convicting a political opponent of a crime has never been used to crush dissidents.

    I mean, possibly such 'dissidents' should refrain from doing multi-million euro frauds, in that case. Seems like asking for trouble.

    Sorry, are you claiming that the independent judiciary who convicted her of embezzling funds considers her their "political opponent"? And that the sentence they handed down which is laid out by the French legal system is tantamount to "crushing dissidents"?
