According to court documents, a staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) quietly resigned after he was accused of impersonating an FBI agent during a Trump rally on Nov. 14, 2020. Sterling Devion Carter allegedly showed up at a MAGA rally in Washington, D.C., but was posing as a fake FBI agent.
The Daily Beast reported, "Carter, who was standing near his parked car, was wearing a black T-shirt that read 'federal agent,' a police duty belt, a Glock pistol, extra ammunition, handcuffs, a radio, and an earpiece." Carter looked the part of a federal agent so convincingly well that people in the crowd thanked him for his service.
However, law enforcement did not discover that Carter was a Democratic congressional staffer until three weeks after the Secret Service chase. During that time, Carter was a credentialed staffer who had access to the U.S. Capitol building.
When Schneider's office was made aware that their staffer was accused of being a fake FBI agent, they contacted Carter and gave him the option to resign or be fired, according to an officer’s sworn statement. Carter – who was on the lam from federal authorities at the time – reportedly told the office of the Democratic representative that he would resign, but he would end up keeping his government-issued cellphone.
According to an affidavit, Carter had personally given himself an $80,000 raise – increasing his annual salary from $54,000 to $138,000 as a congressional staffer. Carter – who was Schneider's operations director that was responsible for managing payroll and bonus payments – reportedly pulled off the scam for over a year.
"According to an FBI affidavit, Carter started filling out payroll authorization forms and faking the signature of Schneider's chief of staff to get them approved in November 2019, when he was only three months into the job," the Daily Mail reported.
Following a national manhunt, Carter was arrested in mid-January in his parents' home state of Georgia.
Carter admitted in court that he openly carried a firearm in the District of Columbia – where it is illegal to do so
impersonating an FBI agent
/\

WTH ?!!!

Silly me, and here I thought impersonating a federal agent was a serious felony , with a much harsher sentance than carrying a firearm in district of cartels.
Since when do ilk who commit multiple felonies “ get an option” not to be prosecuted
for all of them ?
.
9 months for
theft of public funds only ?

If a trump voter did all that they would be in the fort farakan d.c. gulag with the 1/6 ers.
Pop quiz, which senators bodyguard illegally carried a machine gun in DC?

How does one give oneself a raise?
Hadda be some Democrat Sentator’s bodyguard.
Betting NOTHING happened to them.
Sen. Edward Kennedy’s private bodyguard, hired for a trip to South America, was arrested when he arrived at the Capitol with two submachine guns and ammunition, officials said Tuesday.
The bodyguard was identified as Charles Stein, 47, a former police officer in San Fernando, Calif., who has worked for the Massachusetts Democrat in the past, providing security on overseas trips. He was released on his own recognizance after appearing in court.
In the end nothing happened.
Now imagine if a Trump private security did that.
Rep. Brad Schneider didn’t know Sterling Devion Carter was impersonating an FBI agent huh Moe.
NEVER put anything pass a democrat they do have cockroach crews and a lot of them.

I had to google it.
“He said Stein, a retired captain of the San Fernando police department who has guarded Kennedy on several previous trips, was arrested after he asked guards where he could put two 9 mm automatic weapons, an Uzi and a Baretta, and his ammunition.”
Amazing. Oh the irony. Guarding an anti-gun senator like Ed Kennedy. Of course, nothing happened.

Being Democrat trumps ethnicity and is the only certain tell of being an idiot.
