Democratic Congresswoman Indicted On Corruption Charges

Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida was indicted on corruption charges likely stemming from her involvement with a massive and reportedly bogus charity.
Brown, who has represented Florida’s 5th district since 1993, was closely involved with a Virginia charity named One Door for Education, Inc. The charity never obtained non-profit status, never filed state or federal taxes, and awarded only a single $1,000 scholarship. It still raised over $800,000 in donations, in part because Brown repeatedly used her name and political connections to direct funding towards the group.
One Door director Carla Wiley pleaded guilty to wire fraud charges in March. In her plea deal, Wiley admitted to diverting over $150,000 of the charity’s funds to hold events benefiting a public official identified only as “Person A.” Circumstantial details in the plea deal indicated that “Person A” was Brown.

democrats make me sick. seeing liz warren support hillary was surprising and disgusting and not surprising was bernie supporting hillary the hawk.

anyways, i saw this somewhere else last night, and here it is in another article:

"
. Sanders delegates here emphasize that he’s not directing them, and that any protest activity on the floor is a result of grass-roots activism. That makes the push for unity, now coming from both Mrs. Clinton and Sanders, an even more daunting challenge.


“If we learned one thing from Bernie Sanders, it’s that the movement is about all of us, not him,” says Justin Molito, a union organizer from Connecticut who is attending the convention as a Sanders delegate. “So when he asks us not to protest, I’d respectfully disagree. You have to make a moral choice about what your role is here.”"
