Do the Sanchez sisters now face federal criminal charges and prison time over their Congressional staff payroll being “bailed out” - or “over the line” - Turbo-Tax Timmy style?

Are the two (D-CA) Sanchez sisters are in mucho aqua caliente again?

According to Roll Call “.....the House ethics committee is reviewing whether the chamber’s rules were broken when (D-CA) US Representative Linda Sanchez put three of (D-CA) US Representative Loretta Sanchez’s aides on her own payroll in late 2006 because of a “alleged budget shortfall” in her sister (D-CA) US Representative Linda Sanchez’s office.”

In other news, AP reports: A former executive assistant to California US Representative (D-CA) Loretta Sanchez has pleaded guilty to stealing from Congressional office funds.

Caroline Valdez admitted in federal court Monday that she used Sanchez’s House credit card to illegally buy airline tickets for herself and a family member and to pay for pizza and groceries that was delivered.

Interesting stuff

The 2 Sanchez sisters playing with Congressional staff expenses/budgets

I’d like to know why one sister ran so short on staff funding

Where did those funds that were meant for her 3 staffers go?

There is much more to this than will ever be exposed

There was a time, long ago, when I kinda liked Loretta Sanchez. She used to be on Fox News a lot then and obviously it was before anything corrupt came out about her.

Loretta Sanchez unseated conservative Bob Dornan for the Rep.seat she currently holds. Dornan contested and charged illegal and corrupt voting practices. Hearings were actually held and I watched some of them. There was no doubt in my mind that Dem voter fraud was rampant. However, the Senator overseeing the hearings was loathe to accept some of the evidence--just couldn't seem to believe it could have been actually stolen. This was between 15 and 20 years ago--anyone remember the time and who held the hearings.I believe it was a Repub. senator in charge.

I imagine ACORN was involved, getting its training and experience doncha know?Now her sister has joined her as a Rep. from a neighboring district.

Read my post #8.Loretta stole her seat by voter fraud. I don't doubt she has been freewheeling with the finances ever since.

Thanks, I did a Google on her and she beat Dornan in 1997. That's 12 years ago, a long time.

Perhaps I have her mixed up with someone else in my mind. I had an ‘association’ with Texas and she is California.

The La Raza-ACORN Sisters in California

algore got loads of illegals registered and voting and the never-ending tale continues

I see some other FReepers mentioned how Bob Dornan was robbed of his seat in Congress

Republicans in Congress would not back up B-1 Bob Dornan
