Ex-Rep. Corrine Brown guilty on fraud, tax evasion charges


Former Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown was found guilty on 18 fraud and tax evasion charges Thursday afternoon in a Jacksonville federal court.

The charges stemmed from accusations she illegally siphoned thousands of dollars from her charity into her own bank account for lavish parties, trips and shopping excursions.

Brown was found not guilty on four of the 22 total charges.

Brown served as a Florida representative in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 until 2017. She was defeated in her 2016 primary race.

The indictment came after an investigation into the charity One Door for Education Foundation Inc., which federal prosecutors say was purported to give scholarships to poor students but instead filled the coffers of Brown and her associates.

Other article mentions she a DEM in the first sentence ... regardless...stealing from her own people!  I'd say this qualifies her for Clinton's basket of deplorables.

Years ago, mayor Coleman Young of Detroit, stole the city and people blind for years ... and they kept voting him in. As long as the entitlements continued they thought he was great.  In this case though ... she was taking entitlement $$ and putting it in her pocket.
