Business as usual in Florida

From today's Orlando Sentinel Leaders Await Mildred Fernandez replacement after her arrest. The county commissioner in question is accused of taking bribes among other felonies. Naturally that led her to claim "This is politics."
My question today is why a politician tries to hide behind an inane statement when they are accused of wrongdoing. I have no idea if this woman is guilty or not, but I strongly suggest that the claim of it being politically motivated is irrelevant. If you did the crime, do the time, to borrow an old overused cliche. Otherwise, get a lawyer and have your day in court.
