Former Democrat Rep. Corrine Brown sentenced for fraud

Former Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) was sentenced to five years in the slammer for mail, wire and tax fraud involving a fake charity.

The liberal Democrat was convicted by a jury of stealing money from a make-believe charity known as One Door For Education, which pretended to give scholarships to poor children. Instead, it gave charity to Brown and her A$$ociates.

Federal prosecutors said she and a top aide committed fraud by pocketing the donations for their own lavish parties and trips. The aide and another scum-muffin accepted a plea deal and threw Brown, who had served in Congress for almost 25 years, under the proverbial bus at the end of the day after they kicked the can down the road.

Earlier this year, One Door President Carla Wiley pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud after it was discovered she had deposited $800,000 into the foundation's account over four years, but in that time only gave out one, not two, but one scholarship for $1,000 and transferred to herself, tens of thousands of dollars.

Brown's former chief of staff, Elias Simmons, and Wiley pleaded guilty after their federal indictments for misusing the charity's funds and testified against Brown.

There's no honor amongst liberals.

Brown testified that she was left in the dark about the goings-on with One Door's money, and blamed the theft on Simmons, racism, white privilege and the loss of her safe space.

She was convicted in May on 18 of 22 charges.

Brown's shyster was seeking probation in Monday's sentencing. But Brown needs to serve time for such a despicable act.

Rep. Corrine Brown indicted for fraud over charity 'slush fund'

Even her hair is a deception

Jacksonville, Fla. -- Fortunately for Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) the media is too focused on the horrific police shootings in Dallas, to discuss her indictment over a charity "slush fund' with the coverage it deserves.

Brown, 69, and her chief of staff have been charged with multiple fraud and federal offenses in a grand jury indictment unsealed Friday after a federal investigation into a fraudulent charity with ties to the congresswoman.

Brown, a Democrat, has been in office since 1993 and is seeking re-election. If Hillary Clinton is an example of the type of character liberals tend to vote for, Brown should be a shoo-in, except perhaps she will have to work from prison.

The indictment was generated by the investigation of One Door for Education Foundation Inc., which prosecutors say was purported to give scholarships to poor students. As it turns out, the money has been going to line the pockets of Brown and her associates.

Brown and Elias "Scumcrumpet" Simmons, 50, of Laurel, Maryland, and Brown's chief of staff, were charged with a 24-count indictment. 

One Door President Carla Wiley pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud earlier this year, when it was found that she deposited $800,000 into the foundation's account over 4 years, but the foundation only gave one scholarship for $1,000 while wily Wiley transferred tens of thousands of dollars to herself.

Assistant U.S. Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, chief of the Department of Justice's criminal division said in a statement: "Congresswoman Brown and her chief of staff are alleged to have used the congresswoman's official position to solicit over $800,000 in donations to a supposed charitable organization, only to use that organization as a personal slush fund.

"Corruption erodes the public's trust in our entire system of representative government," Caldwell added, but left out the notion that this kind of corruption also makes the public wary of donating to actual worthwhile organizations in the future.

The indictment states that Brown, Simmons and Wiley "used the vast majority" of the donations for their personal benefit, including tens of thousands of dollars in cash deposits Simmons made to Brown's personal bank accounts.

The indictment says that over $200,000 in funds were used to pay for events hosted by the dirty congresswoman or held in her honor (which, when you think about it, is ironic as all get out). This included a golf tournament, expensive receptions during an annual Washington conference and luxury boxes for a concert and NFL game in which the Redskins probably lost again.

I hope she and her co-defendants get what they deserve: 3 hots and a cot.
