Probably not though, since almost every politician get judged under different rules.

But no matter what jail time she gets, if any, and especially if it's life.. If she gets life for being a thief and robbing people, well, then - :dance::dance:

Ex-congresswoman may spend rest of life in prison for fraud

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown could spend the rest of her life in prison after being found guilty of taking money from a charity that was purported to be giving scholarships to poor students.

The Thursday verdict came after prosecutors outlined a pattern of fraud by Brown, 70, and her top aide that included using hundreds of thousands of dollars from the One Door for Education Foundation for lavish parties, trips and shopping excursions. She was convicted of 18 of the 22 charges against her, including lying on her taxes and on her congressional financial disclosure forms.

"Corrupt public officials undermine the integrity of our government and violate the public's trust, and that is why investigating public corruption remains the FBI's top criminal priority," FBI Jacksonville Division Special Agent in Charge Charles Spencer said in a statement.

It was the final act in the downfall of Brown, who had represented the Florida district that included Jacksonville since 1993. Brown, a Democrat, was one of the first three African Americans to be elected to Congress from Florida since Reconstruction.

She watched the judge read each verdict in a silent courtroom with no visible reaction. She later left the courthouse holding onto the arm of a companion, surrounded by dozens of reporters. A few supporters shouted "We love you Corrine!" and "Keep the Faith!" as she silently made her way to a waiting car.

Just the tip of the iceberg. You know there were lots more corruption & bribes that they either couldn't prove in court or never was detected.

I want to know who is secretly funding Maxine Waters' wigs. Or Nancy Pelosi's amazing pearl necklace collection & botox regimen.

Waters has been called to the carpet many times over her behavior(s) and placed under scrutiny, yet her Cong. District
keeps re-electing her as if she is some savior.

Pelosi's money comes from her husband's winery and other joint vested interests.

A good friend of the Obama's, naturally.

Elessar. Fact is, and I dare say...Truth be told. Waters keeps getting re-elected by people who are JUST AS LOONY as she is. "Blind leading the blind!" Come to mind???:laugh:

One can only hope there's a special kind pf Hell for those that rip off charities for people that are truly in need. That's beyond whalesh*t low.
