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

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

Notice what’s missing? D - party affiliation.

You can’t name Democrats who’ve been indicted.

They have NOTHING on Hillary.

Hillary laughs at their feeble accomplishments... AND the fact they were tried and convicted.

Even if you are a Rat, if you do not pay off certain higher level Rats, they will take you down. That why it is called a Crime Family. No rogue operations tolerated.

The whole “justice” system sentencing is a joke. If you are truly deserving of a 357 years of jail time, you should be getting the death penalty. Much cheaper to the taxpayer and humane to the guilty. 357 years? Fing kidding me

about time, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer person

I saw this old gal on an episode of Housewives of Atlanta (caught me). She was telling the group that white people really don’t like black people. I have to compliment the black actress who left with her children who she didn’t want exposed to such hate speech.

But she awarded $1200 in scholarship money, so her intentions were good-—she didn’t steal all of the money.
