Lead Sentence

Mike Tyson went to prison for RAPE and his profile doesn't open with "convicted criminal." Blankenship has a misdemeanor charge, and this leads? No, if anyone is "political" sir, its your constant addition of this irrelevant point. The arrest and prison time is dealt with in the article, this is hardly a reasonable choice. 24.116.100.28 (talk) 02:03, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Let's add to that. Anthony Weiner? Nope. General Petraeus? Uhnun. Steve Stockman? Nada. Jesse Jackson Jr.? Blank. Edward Moore Kennedy and the girl he walked away from? Tucked away in a section called "incident." 24.116.100.28 (talk) 02:21, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

I'd like to add to this section that I'm removing weasel words from the lede. Currently it states that during his senatorial campaign he "claimed that" the DOJ accused his prosecutors of misconduct. Implying that this statement was unsubstantiated. In fact it's perfectly well sourced, so I'm going to rephrase it to remove the implication it's sometheing he alone cooked up. 89.100.250.188 (talk) 11:00, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
