Is this article saying that Shirly Sherrod recieved 13 million in direct payments from the Department of Agriculture where she works to her corporation?

I believe she received it BEFORE she got the job with the USDA And she works for the GEORGIA section, not the Fed, as I read it.

Did she administer the distribution of these funds or was she solely a beneficiary?

She was a beneficiary. Most of the beneficiaries were members of her family, or friends, -- a group that she put together for the purposes of the lawsuit.

Did she get an additional 15 million on top of the 13 million?

I don't know. I think those additional funds were paid to other parties.

80,000 black farmers were paid but only 40,000 exist?

That is my undertanding.

Sherrod’s corporation recieved 330,000 just for mental suffering, and a settlement was made for corporate mental suffering?

No. Sherrod and her husband PERSONALLY received $330,000 just for themselves for metal pain and suffering. The others got an average of $70,000 apiece.

The Obama administration reopened the case unnecessarily and agreed to pay additional moneys that totalled over 1 billion dollars to black farmers?

That is my understanding. More than 4 times the number of pay outs than the estimate were made and more than double the number of "black farmers" that existed were paid.

Thanks, that clears up a lot. What a scandal. Hope Brietbart takes them to the woodshed on this.
