A former Democratic congressman from Chicago, heading to prison for the third time, says he has “given up on America” and plans to move to Africa after he serves his latest sentence.
At his sentencing Thursday, Mel Reynolds, 66, got six months in prison for failing to file tax returns on more than $400,000 he received for consulting work.
He also received a scolding from federal Judge Robert Gettleman, who told the Harvard graduate he could recall thinking to himself in the early 1990s that Reynolds had tremendous promise.
“It's a tragedy that you squandered the opportunities you had and the type of person you could have become," Gettleman said.

Send his pedophile ass away.
America has had more than enough of you too, Mel. GTFO.
In August 1994, Reynolds was indicted for sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse for engaging in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old campaign volunteer that began during the 1992 campaign.[1] Despite the charges, he continued his campaign and was re-elected that November; he had no opposition.[1] Reynolds initially denied the charges, which he claimed were racially motivated. On August 22, 1995, he was convicted on 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography. He resigned his seat on October 1 of that year.[2]
Reynolds was sentenced to five years in prison, thus he expected to be released in 1998. However, in April 1997 he was convicted on 16 unrelated counts of bank fraud, misusing campaign funds for personal use and lying to FEC investigators. Specifically, one count of bank fraud, two counts of wire fraud, eight counts of making false statements on loan applications, one count of conspiracy to defraud the Federal Election Commission, and four counts of making false statements to the FEC. These charges resulted in an additional sentence of 78 months in federal prison. Reynolds served all of his first sentence, and served 42 months in prison for the later charges. At that point, President Bill Clinton commuted the sentence for bank fraud. As a result, Reynolds was released from prison and served the remaining time in a halfway house.[5]
On February 18, 2014, Reynolds was arrested in Zimbabwe for overstaying his visa. He was allegedly found to be in possession of pornographic videos he had filmed with several women at the hotel where he was staying. Possession of pornography is a crime in the country. He had also purportedly accrued over $24,000 in hotel charges that he had yet to pay.[6] The pornography charges were later dropped, but he pleaded guilty to violating immigration laws, and was deported to South Africa. He claimed in early March 2014 to be hiding there from Zimbabwean death squads, who he claimed were targeting him because he possessed information about American companies from Chicago doing business illegally in Zimbabwe.
Good gosh.....that is the Demonrat Party, summarized.
Wow!
A regular human would be in prison for life!
While I would love to believe that he will rid us of himself, it’s bullish!t. He won’t leave America, he won’t leave Chicago. He will continue to commit crimes and blame racism when he gets caught.
He’s a liberal. It’s how they roll.
“plans to move to Africa”
I wish they would all do that.
Not surprising.
Appreciate the details. TY.
Yup....Africa where you can steal as much as you want and no one cares
After spending some time in Africa he’s going to wish
he could go back to American prison.
Crossed it? He took a running start and pole vaulted it!
If Mel gets caught scamming real Africans in Africa they will spread his body parts deep in the jungle—no lawyers, no trial.
And he would be reelected in a heartbeat back in his district if he ran as a democrat. Who paid this guy $400,000 for consulting anyway?
Didn’t he vote for all those taxes?
Did he get a cushy federal disability retirement like CONvicted felon jesse jackson jr.??
Liberia, here he comes! Better late than never!
Depends on where he is. Big cities like the corrupt nature of big money
Mel’s moving to Africa from the US would raise the average IQ of both countries.
