Members of the Congressional Black Caucus CBC involved in corruption always get a pass from the Leftist media.
The ‘Cop Pigs’ Painting Isn’t The First Time The Cong. Black Caucus Has Shown Contempt For Police

excerpt-——————
But overlooking CBC members’ hypocrisy and transgressions has become routine for the left-wing media.
For example, Rep. John Lewis has called Donald Trump an “illegitimate” president and refuses to attend the inauguration, all the while hiding behind the “civil rights icon” credentials he routinely uses to bash Republicans.
The mainstream media touts Lewis’ inauguration boycott as “unprecedented,” but it’s merely business as usual for the Georgia Democrat, who also boycotted George W. Bush’s Inauguration in 2001 for the exact same reason.
The actions of Lewis and Waters are not outliers; they reflect a long history of crime and corruption within the CBC.
In July 2016, Michelle Malkin wrote a piece for National Review in which she detailed several cases of CBC corruption. Among those implicated were:
- Corrine Brown: This twelve-term Democrat from Florida received a 24-count federal indictment while her Congressional Black Caucus colleagues tried to drown out the news with diversionary gun-control theatrics. Brown and her chief of staff are charged with creating a fraudulent education charity to collect over $800,000 in donations from major corporations and philanthropies for their own private slush fund between 2012 and early 2016.
- Chaka Fattah: This eleven-term Pennsylvania Democrat was convicted in late June on 23 charges of racketeering, money laundering, and fraud, along with four other co-defendants. His son was sentenced earlier this year to a five-year prison term after being found guilty of 22 counts of separate federal bank- and tax-fraud charges related to his misuse of business loans and federal education contracts to pay for designer clothes, massive bar tabs, and luxury cars.
- Eddie Bernice Johnson: This twelve-term Democrat from Dallas similarly helped steer thousands of dollars in Congressional Black Caucus Foundation college scholarships to four family members and two of her top aide’s children, in violation of the nonprofit’s rules.
And of course:
- Maxine Waters: This 13-term Beltway swamp queen from California and past chair of the Congressional Black Caucus walked away with a slap on the wrist from the toothless House Ethics Committee in 2012 after being charged with multiple ethics violations related to her meddling in minority-owned OneUnited Bank.
The list goes on, but most Americans will hear little to nothing about this systemic corruption because in the world of Democratic Party-mainstream media collusion, the Congressional Black Caucus is the most sacred of sacred
cows.
Does he have other revenue streams? How does a Congressman afford a million dollar property on his salary? And I’m reasonably sure the property taxes in DC are on the nose-bleed side, so how does that happen?
And if you or I make a $100 error on our taxes, we’re audited. Not sure how these government leeches get away with it. That includes you Al.....
It looks like he pays them late every year, but he pays them.
*************
Someone else probably pays the taxes for him. It might take him awhile to squeeze the money out of the other party. Hence the annual delays.
Politicians like him are experts at getting others to pay up for them. That’s why they’re in politics.
When a black man/woman starts using “racism” as an argument and makes a lot of noise, whether he/she is a politician or person of note, investigate their personal ethics or financial situation because most of the time they are dirty and using the guise of racism to deflect interest from their personal shortcomings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lewi$ or $harpton?
follow the money. My guess is that his Congressional Reelection Campaign pays for them through some proxy scam.
You can view the payment history. Three payment made in 2016 on the same day.
It would be interesting to know what his credit report looks like because these taxes have a lot of interest and penalties.
2015 and 2016 there was a tax sale and delinquency notice.
Dont know when he bought it.
Wait, what?? Doesn’t the fact he’s a “Beloved Civil Rights Icon” excuse him from paying real estate taxes?
Maxine Waters could bear some scurrility also....these pampered politicians need airing.......
And some petty racists complain he doesn't pay taxes?
It's just his way of getting a little wealth redistribution for himself - some advance reparations.
Heck - Even the Brits recognize his Sainthood
#1,000,000 house on $174,000 a year!
Crooks is crooks is crooks.
$1,000,000 house on $174,000 a year salary!
Crooks is crooks is crooks.
He was briefly, quite incensed that they didn't let him slide since he was running around the country campaigning.
One of his lackeys must have pointed out the poor "optics".
It's the red door.
“...most Americans will hear little to nothing about this systemic corruption because in the world of Democratic Party-mainstream media collusion, the Congressional Black Caucus is the most sacred of sacred”

Spot on! The MSM essentially acts as a Praetorian Guard for the CBC.
Yes!!
He’s a living martyr! He was beaten up by Democrats in SELMA. We can’t expect him to be subject to the same requirements as the racist crackas!
LOL
