Silence In the Face of Mass Corruption By Black Democrats

(CBS NEWS) After a historic, nearly 25-year career representing Florida in Congress, former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown was found guilty on Thursday of taking money from a charity that was purported to be giving scholarships to poor students. The verdict came after prosecutors outlined a pattern of fraud by Brown,70 and her top aide that included using hundreds of thousands of dollars from the One Door for Education Foundation for lavish parties, trips and shopping excursions. She was convicted of 18 of the 22 charges against her, including lying on her taxes and on her congressional financial disclosure forms. Prosecutors said Brown and her associates used One Door to Bring in more than $800,000 between 2012 and 2016. She is awaiting sentencing as of this writing.


 In July of 2017 Longtime Philadelphia Congressman Chaka Fattah along with a group of associates was convicted of charges including racketeering conspiracy, bribery, bank fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, making false statements to a financial institution, and falsification of records. They centered around a complex money laundering and bribery scheme. Fattah was convicted of misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars of federal, charitable and campaign funds. The FBI further alleged that Fattah accepted an $18,000 bribe from a man seeking an ambassadorship. And why don't we stay with the city of Brotherly Love where there has been so much political graft as of late.

 

Seth Williams, who pleaded guilty in June of 2017 to accepting a bribe from a Bucks County businessman, was sentenced to five years in prison.  Williams' federal bribery trial revealed embarrassing details about his personal life and financial struggles, including stealing money set aside for his mother's nursing-home care.

Ron Waters accepted $8,750 in payments and was captured on tape after pocketing one payment of $1,000 saying, “Happy birthday to Ron Waters.” He pleaded guilty in 2015 to nine counts of conflict of interest and was sentenced to 23 months on probation.

Harold James received two money orders worth a total of $750 in campaign contributions. He pleaded guilty in 2015 to one count of conflict of interest and was sentenced to 12 months’ probation.

Michelle Brownlee was charged with accepting $2,000 in cash. She pleaded guilty in 2015 to one count of violating the state's conflict-of-interest law and was sentenced to 18 months’ probation.

Louise Bishop, a longtime radio personality who was elected to the House 13 times, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge in December 2015. Like the three other House members charged in the sting case, she resigned from office but kept her taxpayer-paid pension.

LeAnna Washington, a Democrat who represented parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery County, pleaded guilty to felony conflict of interest charges in 2014. Prosecutors alleged Washington used her staff to plan her annual birthday party campaign fund-raisers from 2005 to 2013, using up to $100,000 in taxpayer money for political gain. A grand jury report said Washington berated her chief of staff when he questioned the propriety of ordering staffers to do political work on government time. “I am the f-ing senator, I do what the f- I want, and ain't nobody going to change me,” she told him.(Philadelphia Inquirer)


As the latest black democrat left a Federal courthouse defeated, sadly it will have little effect on their blindly loyal voters. Democrats have ruled our major cities for decades and with few exceptions they have turned into social and economic basket cases. Here just a few examples of other fallen democratic Mayors and politicians.






Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon is the latest left wing politician who appears to be headed to federal prison. He abruptly resigned two weeks ago after being arrested on corruption charges.

 In February former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin (left) was convicted on 20 of 21 federal corruption counts. He was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

Jesse Jackson Jr.  Jackson pleaded guilty on February 20, 2013 to one count of wire and mail fraud in connection with his misuse of $750,000 of campaign funds. On June 7, 2013, federal prosecutors indicated that they sought a four-year prison sentence for Jackson. On August 14, 2013, Jackson was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, while wife Sandi was sentenced to 12 months in prison for filing false tax returns in attempt to conceal the crime purchases that included a Michael Jackson Fedora. Jackson Jr. served as a congressman from Illinois 2nd district, a seat previously occupied by Mel Reynolds who also served time in prison for having sex with underage campaign workers. Jackson Jr. was released in March of 2015.

 Detroit's "hip hop mayor" Kwame Kilpatrick was convicted on numerous bribery and corruption charges beginning in 2010 and will serve at least 28 years in Prison.

Trenton NJ mayor Tony Mack was convicted in February 2014 on corruption charges. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was convicted on one count of misdemeanor embezzlement and misconduct in office. She was placed on four years probation.

 I am certain that many of these individuals ran on helping the poor and minorities which is a common narrative of the left. They brand their political opponents as racist and bigots who are only interested in their own interest and that of their wealthy Oligarchs. They convince their voters that they are their champions and others are only interested in their long term oppression. The same individuals who are responsible for these results want to impose their failed values on the rest of America. To that I say, keep the Change.
