U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown has been indicted on federal mail and wire fraud charges following a lengthy investigation of a bogus scholarship fund that made vast sums available for personal use. Her chief of staff, Ronnie Simmons, also was indicted.

Brown, 69, faces up to 357 years in prison, a fine of up to $4 million and three years of supervised release. She pleaded not guilty on all counts.

Hillary should give her some tips on how to wiggle clear and free herself from these entanglements. Maybe the F.B.I could see that she had no intent to break the law.

So... Without the political party named in the first 3 words of the story are we to assume this was a Tea Party Republican???

The 24-count indictment unsealed Friday accuses the two of conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, theft of government property, filing false tax returns, concealing material facts on required financial disclosure forms and obstruction.

Any moron that doesn't understand how many charges could have been filed against Hillary Clinton and her crew is exactly that.

A moron.

I’m surprised Corinne Brown lasted this long, she has never been well regarded even by her fellow Democrats. Her replacement will be someone of similar view.

“Lol, after facing 357 years, she might get 3 years of supervised release?”

She should plead out, go to jail on Jan. 2nd and get her Odunga pardon two weeks later.

Just pay Bill Clinton to meet Atty General to make the case go away.

The only reason she was charged and convicted was because she was no longer useful to the liberal cause and/or the moneyed elite. (Similar to Bill Cosby. He’s no longer useful so no one is covering for him any more. Same for Michael Jackson. Since he’s dead, there is more money to be made by the media exposing the scandal stories than by covering them up.)

Not just blacks, but any criminals. The 3 I mentioned just happened to be black.

Neighbors on the right hand side of us are black, both CCW, and are the Salt of the Earth Christian type neighbors you want near you. They pick up our mail or bring up the trash when we are out of town. Need help, Joe is always there to lend a hand on his days off, despite having had a heart attack in his mid 40’s. Very hard working couple.

Brown, 69, faces up to 357 years in prison, a fine of up to $4 million and three years of supervised release.

So, she'll be on supervised release when she's 426 years old. If she has a good lawyer, maybe she can get it knocked down to life.
