Clinton Superdelegate Chaka Fattah Found Guilty on Corruption Charges

Rep. Chaka Fattah (D., Pa.), a Hillary Clinton superdelegate, was convicted on Tuesday on corruption charges stemming from a racketeering conspiracy in which the congressman and four associates misappropriated thousands of dollars from federal, campaign, and charitable sources.

Fattah and four associates were indicted in July 2015 on 29 corruption charges including racketeering, bribery, money laundering, mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, and falsification of records, among other charges.

The Department of Justice said Fattah took an illegal $1 million loan from his failed Philadelphia mayoral bid in 2007 and disguised it as a loan to his consulting company.

At the end of the campaign, Fattah used a scheme to repay the loan through grants and charitable funds from his nonprofit, the Educational Advancement Alliance, and passed through two other companies. In order to pull off the scheme, sham contracts were created to conceal the contributions and repayment operation. False entries were made into accounting records, campaign finance disclosure statements, and tax returns.

Donald Trump should ask Clinton and the media:
“Can he still vote while in prison?”

I guess that is one way to do it. I’m sure a large proportion of Clinton super-delegates are guilty of some sort of public corruption. Just take them down one by one.

What’s the use of being a Superdelegate if your superpowers can’t get you out of something like this?

Nope. “Ain’t nobody” was the best song Chaka Khan ever made.

Those of us without sin should cast the first stone, preferably a headstone.

The only proper response is to give him another 200 votes to cast.
