Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown has been found guilty of siphoning hundreds of thousands of dollars from a charity that she and her chief of staff had passed off as a scholarship service for students. The Florida Democrat had faced 22 counts ranging from conspiracy to tax fraud; she was convicted of 18.

Of the more than $800,000 she and Elias "Ronnie" Simmons raised for One Door for Education, member station WJCT reports that just $1,200 actually went where they told donors it would: students' education. In roughly five years, prosecutors say, the charity distributed just two scholarships.

Prosecutors alleged — and on Thursday, the jury agreed — that Brown and Simmons pocketed the rest of the funds, using them for lavish events such as a golf tournament and luxury boxes for an NFL game and a Beyonce concert.

I'm SHOCKED!

Those Bassards..!! 😠

She's from the district next to mine. Glad they finally shut her down. Can you say prison for life?

Hope she gets a long prison term...there were plenty of political corruption scandals in small cities of the southeast part of Los Angeles where I lived before moving here...some GOP but many Dems...most got prison time...

We gon' be neighbors if all goes according to plan. I'm wanting to move to the Jacksonville area when I retire in 7 years.

Or thereabout, anyway...

We will celebrate with a herf in your honor!!!

Democrat = Republican = Criminal.


We need another revolution

Just out of curiosity:

What are "ETHNICITY" of Corrine and Elias?

Hockeydad was "disappeared" by the
"FRENCH ANTI-disparity LEAGUE"

Didn't Trump do the same thing with his "charity" ? Where's that outrage ? And what about the checks he got for his current job that he wasn't going to take ?
It's almost always the little guys that go to jail.

Yep, The Trump Foundation is being investigated by the NY AG...and a respected charity scoring agency, Charity Navigator, has issued a concern advisory...


...and ask all the grads of Trump University how happy they are with their degrees...
