U.S. Congressman Chaka Fattah on Tuesday was found guilty of all the federal corruption charges he faced.

Fattah, a Democrat who has represented West Philadelphia since 1995, was found guilty of all counts including bribery, racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering and bank fraud stemming from efforts to repay an illegal $1 million campaign loan.

Fattah will remain out on bail ahead of his October sentencing. The trial began May 16 and jurors began deliberations late Wednesday afternoon.

His son is also a convicted criminal, on theft and fraud charges.

He's a Hillary superdelegate.  I wonder whether this will have any effect, since the sentencing isn't until October and he's out on bail.

I guess his former-newscaster wife won't be getting her job back.  She had all kinds of conflicts of interest, but was finally put on leave (and eventually left/let go) after this creep was indicted. 

I hope he gets a good hard sentence.
