Democratic Rep. Accused Of Charity Fraud Seeks Donations For Legal Defense
Daily Caller ^ | 9/16/16 | Blake Neff

Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown, who is currently facing felony charges for fraud, is trying to solicit donations online to fund her legal defense.

Brown, who currently represents Florida’s 5th congressional district, was indicted in July on more than 20 counts of fraud. According to federal prosecutors, Brown and a collaborator presented the non-profit One Door for Education as a scholarship fund, but instead used its finances as a personal slush fund. Brown supposedly used the money to pay off back taxes and fund public events honoring herself. Despite raising $800,000, One Door awarded only a single $1,000 scholarship.

Now, Brown launched another fundraising campaign, trying to convince supporters they should fund her criminal defense. On the page for the Corrine Brown Legal Expense Trust, Brown argues that she is being prosecuted by sinister forces who want to bring down a powerful black woman.

The scam never really stops.

Wow. Bill and Hillary’s ratio into Haiti was about 0.6%, I think.

This piece-of-work’s ratio is 0.125%, which makes Bill and Hillary look like Robin Hood.

Not that I am defending this embarrassment to the North Florida area, she has not finished her term until January. Now, if you are referring to the embarrassment of what she was caught at, then that is a different story.

But how in the world would one expect a Democrat legislator not smart enough to pour pi$$ out of a boot with directions on the bottom to know anything about or being capable to be embarrassed. I’m sure that she was only following the lead modeled by apparently most in DC, especially Hillary.
