The daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright the controversial former pastor to President Barack Obama was indicted today in an expanding federal probe of a state grant tied to a former suburban police chief.
Jeri Wright of Hazel Crest is accused of helping former Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans convert fake paychecks from Evans nonprofit to Evans personal use, allegedly hiding money that was supposed to be used to train minority and female workers in the building trades.
Federal prosecutors in the Illinois central district say Jeri Wright received about $28,000 in grant-tied paychecks in 2009, but $20,000 of that was deposited back into accounts controlled by Evans. Prosecutors also say Wright then lied to officers and a grand jury.
The charges emerge about a year after Evans was charged with fraud in relation to a $1.25 million job training grant awarded to her nonprofit, We Are Our Brothers Keeper.

Schadenfreude R Us
Quick, give her a job with the Treasury!!! /s
And a preacher's daughter
She was baptized in dirty water
Her mama cried the first time
They caught her with me
They knew they couldn't stop her
[Chorus]
She holds tight to me and the Bible
On the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there
Preachin' to the choir
God Love Her
My wish is she gets sent to prison and The Good Reverend rolls on Nero.
Talk about chickens coming home to Roost!
She was just doing her part to redistribute the wealth.
Probably not. There will be pressure for hussein to make a phone call. I'm surprised the investigation got this far unless it's a little payback for her daddy's mouthing off.
BTW,I read the letter you wrote to Michelle..Excellent work..
Huh, not my letter.
I see I just read it and did not look at the top..Sorry
Greed, corruption, and radical politics always seem to float in the same urban cess pools.
