Corrine Brown sentenced
The Washington Post reports that Congresswoman Corrine Brown was sentenced to five years in prison after a jury found her guilty of using her charity like an ATM machine.
Prosecutors argued that the 71-year-old had turned a charity for poor students into an $800,000 personal slush fund, according to the Associated Press.
After a nearly 25-year career in Congress, she was convicted in May and could have spent the rest of her life in prison.
“This is a sad day for everyone,” U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan told Brown shortly after sentencing her, according to the Florida Times-Union. “I was impressed with all the outpouring of support for you, and I think it’s a tribute to all the work you’ve done over the years. That’s what makes this all the more tragic.”
Yeah, tragic. Last year she told the media that feds could have stopped the Orlando gunman from killing all of those people in the Pulse nightclub if they hadn’t been wasting their time investigating her.
She tried to blame her chief of staff, Elias “Ronnie” Simmons, for bookkeeping errors. He told the court that she had directed him to make the withdrawals from her charity, the money meant to help poor children.
The swamp drains itself.
Thanks to Chip for the link.

Goodbye BAT. You remind me of Aunt Esther.
I’ll just leave a little Fred G Sanford for you.
If brains were gasoline she wouldn’t have enough to make a pissant’s moped go once around a Cheerio, thus I’m sure that’s why she went into politics! I wonder if they’ll ever delve into the workings of the Clinton Foundation?
If you put her brain on the edge of a razorblade, it would look like a BB on a six-lane highway.
Go Gata, beyotch.
No mention of restitution in the sentence.
But she’ll probably do one year out of the five at some Club Med prison and be back on the streets by this time next year.
And by streets you mean, in congress of course.
A whore’s gotta whore, so yeah, back in congress.
I’ll never understand why a felon can’t vote, but can be voted in.
Me, neither.
And, she’ll be re-elected the next election cycle after she gets out on parole…
Yeah, buh-bye, Corinne! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving piece of shit reprobate and I mean reprobate in its strongest sense and piece of shit in its slimiest, smelliest form.
Truth be told though, in her district, she could run again after her sentence and win because she’ll do as she always has, promise more handouts to folks who will not work for a living.
it worked for Marion Barry.
Alas …
It even worked for Alcee Hastings, but he was just an impeached judge.
Wonder what she looks like without the bad wig?
Sorry folks, now even I have to go get my brain bleach.
She should be there in Allah heaven with Rosie O’Donnell, Babs Streisand and Helen Thomas for Muslim virgins.
Will her hair weave be serving with her, or incarcerated in a separate facility?
It needs to be checked into the SPCA
This be ah raciss en shee!
These days it is called “White Privilege”.
James brown wants his wig back pt2.
At least he still feels good.
This is one of the favorite songs of youth.
A classic.
‘“This is a sad day for everyone,” U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan told Brown shortly after sentencing her, according to the Florida Times-Union.’
Ummm, no.
He had to…otherwise he’d have recent descendents of the dark continent rioting, raping and killing (or kneeling)…because these days instead of immediately jailing and prosecuting them according to civilized law and fucking common sense, it’s all about giving them more space…with the predictable consequences of emboldened unproductive “citizen” bs…. Baltimore anyone?
I’d argue that it is. a sitting congresswoman was tried and convicted. Its a sad day for those she represented. She was in a position of trust and was supposed to represent those people to their government. She violated that trust. She let down her constituents.
I lived in this bitches district, she is as crooked as they come. She spent all these years lining her own pockets. Poor kids my ass, she wouldn’t give a starving cockroach a crumb. She blames everything on somebody else. My ass! I bet she doesn’t serve over 90 days tops! She will get an early release and be running in the next election! She will probably run from her prison cell if she is still there! All of her peeps will vote for her even if she was convicted of murder! They would still elect the crooked bitch!! They don’t want the gubmint handouts to stop. They are still waiting for Odumbo to pay their mortgage! Of course, most of them just want to double the amount they get for their section 8 housing!! Be gone bitch, don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split ya!
Gee, you think I don’t like this bitch??
Don’t mince words, Willy … what do you *really* think?
And it’s sad, sad Corrine Brown.
Saddest bytch in the whole durn down.
Ugly as ol’ King Kong,
Mangy as a junk-yard dog.
I saw what you did there … 😛
Does she ever dress like someone NOT going trick or treating?
At least she doesn’t go everywhere with a color coordinated cowboy hat.
Do sequins count as color?
I just lost double digit IQ points listening to that.
She’s the vortex in a cesspool of human ignorance.
Dis nappy-ass-ho deserves an Honorary Maxine (Waters) Citation for stunning irrelevance to humanity. Hell, may as well give her a Jesse, too. Shifty, no-count, conniving, thieving, sifty-ass-sista.
Damn, you didn’t just go “Don Imus”…you done went off on poor Jesse.
Why cant you white folks just chase the Rainbow?
18 felony convictions and get 5 years. Talk about injustice.
They aren’t called beltway bandits for nothing.
As Mark Twain once said “There is no inherent criminal class in America. Except Congress.”
Good news travels fast.
Even Rock Stars get to check out the prisons in FL?
5 years in Club Fed, Martha Stewart wing.
At least the WaPo put her political affiliation in the first paragraph instead of burying or omitting completely. Of course, it would have been in the Headline if she were a member of another party.
I doubt CNN even has it on their page at all. OR MSNBC, or CBS/ABC/NBC, etc.
