PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The FBI has reason to believe U.S. Rep. Bob Brady unlawfully concealed a $90,000 payment made by his campaign to get an opponent to quit a 2012 primary race, according to court documents that confirm the Philadelphia Democrat is under investigation in a widening campaign finance probe.

In unsealed court documents made public Monday, the FBI requested a search warrant and has obtained data from an email account belonging to Brady. The FBI agent who filed the warrant wrote that there is probable cause Brady violated contribution limits and produced false documents, and there is evidence that he and others knowingly circumvented campaign finance rules.

All politicians are corrupt - at least at the national level.

I think there MIGHT be a handful of conservatives who aren’t corrupt but just a handful.

Hey, can I drop out too for $90,000? Lots of blingy stuff to be bought for that kind of money.

Why aren’t they both guilty? My gosh, you’d hope people running for the HOR had enough smarts to transfer the cash in a less transparent way. These clowns can’t even do corruption successfully.

Democrats have gotten away with so much graft & corruption for so very long in the USA, they have come to believe they can do anything—right out in the open. Think in terms of all the dead persons in the wake of the path of the Clintons.

Bill & Shrillary added to those actions & beliefs.

May they all go down.

I saw an episode of F-Troop where they tried to do this and I think it was for a election for Philly.
Agarn was the deciding vote. Hmm nothing changes.
