It's hard for a white male (especially) to ever use the "race card" since institutional racsim has always worked to his benefit, but I understand what you're saying.
I think most of those guys are really saying "Yeah, I'm crooked, but the white politician over there is too but you didn't arrest him." Most politicians are shady, but minority politicians seem to be sloppy as well. 250k cash in a safe? How about 250k in land or some other asset that is easier to explain.
I've met JWP and I found him to be pretty engaging and funny. Having said that I'm pretty sure though that if the Feds charged him they have a strong case against him. Here's a great article about him from back in the day:

$250,000 in cash lying around the house is quite a bit! I'm sure there are plenty of families in Dallas County who could use that!
I'm sure federal prosecutors have very good evidence he committed at least one crime, it is not like he got pulled over for a window inspection sticker violation and then is claiming racism. If I recall, there is a white female that was also indicted for the same charge. We're prosecutors racist and sexist against her?
Not all minorities claim racism or use the race card, it's usually just ones who can't take blame for their action and want to blame someone else for their downfall.
Either he committed a crime or he didn't, race has nothing to do with it.
Why would it be so hard to believe that a man in a powerful position would commit a crime-whether he is black or white?
More than likely in 12-18 months or so, he'll probably plead no contest to a lesser charge.
But like Michael Jackson said, it doesn't matter if you're black or white-
