Mayor sought illegal funds for political allies, records allege (south Florida)
South Florida Sun-Sentinel ^ | January 26, 2018 | Susannah Bryan

allandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper, who was removed from office Friday after being snared in an FBI sting, solicited illegal campaign contributions not only for herself but for two political allies, court documents say.

Gov. Rick Scott suspended Cooper on Friday, a day after she was arrested and accused of accepting contributions funneled through Alan Koslow, a once prominent attorney who has since been disbarred after a conviction on federal charges.

In August 2012, undercover agents handed Koslow a Dunkin’ Donuts bag filled with $8,000 in cash – all in $100 bills, investigators said in court records.

It’s a bad week for crooked Democrats.
Yesterday Former Jackson County Missouri Executive Mike Sanders was convicted of conspiracy and using campaign funds for personal expenses was the Jackson County prosecutor and head of the Missouri Democratic Party.

" Yet, Hellary is still wandering around free as a bird."

Around 2,600 years ago Anacharsis had this to say about written laws.

"These decrees of yours are no different from spiders' webs. They'll restrain anyone weak and insignificant who gets caught in them, but they'll be torn to shreds by people with power and wealth."

Times change but the nature of people doesn't.

I have some plain info for all of those here at FR:

$8000 in $100 bills is LESS than 3/4 INCH of bills if held with a large paperclip. NOT a BINDER CLIP.

I have bundled $1 bills in the past when working for a company that ran booths at car races. 3/4 of an inch of $100 bills isn’t a big wad requiring a “paper bag”. I can fold that in half, and put into my front jeans pocket. Maybe the bag was to conceal the $$$$$$$.

She got nailed because of her association with this Koslow guy.

I’m no angel, but I’m not cheap either. If I’m going to risk 15+ years in prison, it will be for a heck of a lot more than $8,000.

Corruption must be endemic in South FL, because the expense to buy a politician is so low.
