Far-left Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick might soon be expelled from Congress if House Republicans get their way.
The reason: A federal grand jury has indicted her and other defendants, including her brother, for purloining $5 million from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and using it for contributions to her 2021 congressional campaign.
The indictment isn’t Cherfilus-McCormick’s first brush with federal law. In April, she was the target of a complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for myriad shenanigans with campaign funds and contributions.
The indictment and the FEC complaint are cited in the expulsion resolution from GOP Representative Greg Steube, also of Florida.
The DOJ Indictment
The Justice Department’s (DOJ) summary of the indictment explains that Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother, Edwin, 51, “worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. In July 2021, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds.”
The defendants conspired to steal the money, then attempted to disguise the sources by routing the funds through “multiple accounts,” DOJ alleges:
Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants.
The indictment also claims that Cherfilus-McCormick and another conspirator, Nadege Leblanc, 46, “arranged additional contributions using straw donors” from that contract. That went to “friends and relatives who then donated to the campaign as if using their own money.”

As a Democrat, I thought this would be a resume enhancement. Should probably be moved into a leadership position.
I guess they ran out of USAID money to supply her kickbacks.
Tell me again why we need Congre$$.
Nuffin will happen ,LOL
Because we’re not an absolute monarchy ...
The problem isn’t that we have a Congress.
The problem is that We the People keep electing corrupt, lying, thieving, grifting, sex-abusing, self-centered, power-hungry, clever but unintelligent, ignorant, arrogant, bigoted, unaccomplished, career criminals to Congress.
If she doesn’t have to repay the stolen funds prison is useless. Make the DNC pay the reparations for the crime if she can’t
My thoughts as well. They will protect their own. Isn’t this or a variation of it the primary reason why many enter politics?
How else do you amass a multi million dollar net worth in a few years on a salary that barely covers rent in DC as so many congressmen and senators have done?
Of course she has played the race card. https://x.com/cjpearson/status/1991659679202832456?s=61&t=JnND_kqv5gpuQl8CS9RWhA
Investigate every female politician with a double-barreled surname, and you are almost guaranteed to find some kind of corruption.
AND “For getting caught at it”
Many here have way too much cynicism. She’s done now, or later. it’s egregious
2/3rds vote is needed, but Donks would be hung for a no vote.
DoJ may make it moot beforehand, anyway.
Expulsion is OK, but a prison term must accompany it.
“Faces Expulsion”
They haven’t launcher her already?

Maybe the obliteration of the Deep State and draining of the Swamp will hit the Swamp Congress as hard as it’s supposed to hit the other two Swamp Branches of the Swamp Banana Republic.
Ms Syphilis-McCormick just couldn’t resist the temptation.
“corrupt, lying, thieving, grifting, sex-abusing, self-centered, power-hungry, clever but unintelligent, ignorant, arrogant, bigoted, unaccomplished, career criminals to Congress.”
Isn’t it easier to type ‘Uniparty’?
Prolly will - as soon as she's kicked out of congress she'll go straight to the DNC.

GIGO!
I saw a clip of her on Live From Studio 6B last night mumbling some canned BS about black and brown people and it’s all Trump’s fault.
