US Attorney William Weinreb was investigating former Senator Brian Joyce and his company WINDSWEPT LLC ... The investigation has included Renewable Energy Contracts.. Falmouth, Massachusetts has a foreign made wind turbine funded with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds meant for domestic use.

Joyce, a Democrat from Milton, schemed to defraud the state by "conspiring to accept and accepting a stream of concealed bribes and kickbacks from private individuals," in exchange for official actions as a senator.

The 104-page indictment includes a number of charges including racketeering, extortion, wire fraud and money laundering.

Well, he will probably be still a reliable voter for the Democrats, though.

What did he know about the Clintons, and when did he know it?

...funded with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds meant for domestic use.
Joyce, a Democrat from Milton, schemed to defraud the state ...

Seems to me there would be more involved in this than just one state senator. Whom was on the approving side of these funds. Someone in the Obama/Dem party in the DC apparatus. I bet yes.

"In December 2017, Joyce was named in a 113-count indictment charging him with racketeering, extortion, wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors said he allegedly accepted up to $1 million in bribes and kickbacks that he laundered through his company."

Maybe he should have claimed he was of "African American" descent.. That seems to work for a lot of other folks in our stinking government...

Two recent Massachusetts Speakers of the House resigned because of criminal charges. One did time. Have you heard about state Senator Dianne Wilkerson, who was caught on tape stuffing bribe money into her bra? She did time too. One-party rule breeds arrogance and corruption.

...

That’s just business as usual. He must have done something to tick off the establishment.

First thing that comes to mind is there any ties to Hillary or the Clinton Foundation.

Bribery in government, I’m shocked.

Meanwhile, the Klintoons have done much the same thing to the nth degree. They have more friends and a more effective extortion racket.
