That’s why I’m surprised this was even investigated and charged. That and the fact that the fact that it averaged less than $16k/year. He must have got on the wrong side of someone connected

Wow, one time that Democrat privilege didn’t work. Good.
[ He must have got on the wrong side of someone connected ]
That would make sense.
He’d fit right in with Pelosi’s House of Rpes.
The Sniffer pardon list is getting longer. Sniffer, just pardon all Bolshekrats, save paper.
He’s a Democrat? What the heck? Aren’t Democrats honest and trustworthy, and concerned about education and healthcare and such?
He was stealing about $1,300 per month for 8 years. He probably pulled out the corporate credit card every time he went into a restaurant. This type of graft is very common at gubmint funded “non profit” corporations. I am shocked that this guy is being prosecuted. I saw worse when I worked at a crooked non profit corporation.
He’s Black, it was due to the oppression he experienced under the White Crackers!
This will go away very quickly.
Also the poore. Don't forget how much they care about the poore.
I had made that assumption upon reading the headline...and boom. I was right.
S.S.D.D.
Chicken feed.
Let OBiden show him where the real money is.
In the private sector, inflating your expenses is the quickest way to get fired. I’ve seen C-level employees walked out the door over this.
He only stole $27k? He is an embarrassment and a laughingstock to Democrats across the country.
Yeah, he’s a piker compared to Congress.
Shocking. To see that in the media.
He will not get to try any of the new cicada recipes.
Keep the record. When reparation comes, subtract from it
A touch over $43 a day?
Go big or go home!
