Prosecutors in Florida say a former congresswoman took money from a charitable foundation for poor children and instead used it to pay for concert tickets and Beverly Hills shopping sprees.

Federal attorneys on Wednesday opened their case in the trial of Corrine Brown, who from 2013 to 2017 was the Democratic representative from Florida’s 5th congressional district. Brown stands accused of multiple fraud and conspiracy charges for allegedly funneling contributions from the scholarship charity she started, One Door for Education, to her personal bank accounts.

Well,for years I've said that the best places to learn how to be a crook were prison and law school.Looks like I'll have to add Congress to that list.

And her defense said she did not know how to use email. THere should be a test before they let these idiots run for practical knowledge and common norms.

.....her defense said she did not know how to use email.....

So I guess she hired the crooked Awan clan to work her IT?

If so, her former constituents need to start worrying......

Of course Cong Brown NEVER warned her constituents they might have problems if the shady Awans got ahold of their SS nos and tax ID's.....needed by a Congressman to give assistance.

Seems compromising Americans financial situations is of no concern to these crooks.
