The U.S. attorney in New Haven, Connecticut announced that a federal grand jury has returned two indictments charging five people with the theft of federal funds. One if the individuals charged is James Sullivan, who is married to California Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez.
According to a government release, the U.S. attorney alleges that the defendants conspired to misuse an account that held funds provided by federal grants to the Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Corporation (CMEEC), a public corporation that allows municipal electric utilities in Connecticut to provide electricity. Under the membership agreement, six municipalities provided that excess revenues, known as the "CMEEC Margin," would be returned to the member towns to help stabilize electricity costs for citizens. Between 2010 and 2015, according to the U.S. attorney, CMEEC received over $9 million in grants from the U.S. Energy Department. Instead, the government said, the five co-conspirators spend the funds on themselves.
"Instead of protecting these funds and returning excess revenue to member towns and ratepayers, these defendants are alleged to have used the CMEEC Margin Account as a secret slush fund to pay for lavish junkets for themselves and their family and friends, as well as for other inappropriate expenses," U.S. Attorney John Durham said in the press release.
Sullivan, 52 years of age, represented the City of Norwich, one of the member municipalities, and he was also the chairman of the CMEEC Board of Directors.
The first indictment alleges that the five men misused over $800,000 in the margin funds for "lavish trips outside Connecticut," including trips to the Kentucky Derby and a luxury golf resort in West Virginia. The government noted that the trips didn't relate to CMEEC business, but instead were meant to personally benefit the co-conspirators and their families and friends. ..

We can only imagine how much of this kind of criminality is swept under the rug.
Nothing will happen. It’s not like RBG’s ribs.
She’s a democRAT. He’ll get off. Nothing to see here, folks... Move along.
What are we up to? 61,000 sealed indictments in the PACER system?
I saw 61, 215 =)
She’s throwing her husband under the bus. Must be a Hispanic thing. Hillary would never do that!!!
At least she hasn't gone "Lorena Bobbitt" yet.
Sanchez is the slimy RAT who stole the seat from B1 Bob Dornan. He was a vocal and passionate conservative defender of freedom while he had office. No wonder that nail got hammered.
I can’t keep up with it all.
That was her sister Loretta. They both have been in Congress.
B1 Bob was thrown under the bus by the Bush crew, who refused to back a recount. Dubya didn’t want to upset his illegal alien pets by exposing them.
True
Screw the small fries. I want to know how the stupid hag Maxine Waters is able to own a very posh estate on a federal salary. And then there are the congressional leakers.

Their idol is Hillary Clinton, no one gets indicted no one gets arrested no one serves time if your on the team. This will not change because the powers that be will not take it to the next step and hold them all accountable
