Corrine Brown under investigation for Ethics Violations

[sean]

Guilty on at least a few counts. The IRS false tax return issue was pretty damning. Who makes over 100k in a year in gifts?

[Cheshire Cat]

Corrine Brown......Verdict is unanimous


Count one......  GUILTY

[Cheshire Cat]

Count two Guilty
Count four Guilty

[Cheshire Cat]

So far Guilty on main charge

So far only two of 13 counts are not guilty.

[Cheshire Cat]

Stand by, last counts on income tax fraud to come.

[Cheshire Cat]

Guilty on all counts of Income Tax fraud!

[Cheshire Cat]

Found guilty of 18 of the 22 counts with the main count "Guilty"!

So will she be put in jail today?

[camarocane]

Probably not. She's not going anywhere and not a threat to society.

[sean]

IANAL but if you're out on bond you do not go to prison until you have been sentenced, right?

[Cheshire Cat]

They will not jail her today.  She no longer has a passport and is not a flight risk.  There is no way that she will not do some hard time.  She will likely get some hard time and major fines.  She is now back to her conditions of bail and there will not be sentencing for another 90 days.  Remember she is guilty of the main count and a total of 18 out of 22 counts.  She is looking at minimum of 5 to 7 years.   The charges for which she was found guilty are very serious.

[Cheshire Cat]

This ruling also means that Congress woman Brown just lost her entire pension,

Nothing on national news outlets...

Nothing on national news outlets...

It will be soon enough.  Another black eye on the surface for Jacksonville redeemed by the reality that today's verdict which was unanimous has exposed Brown to be a thief and a liar.  She is guilty of so much more which her flamboyance hid for years.  The truth has now been exposed.

National press is infatuated with Trump right now.

It will make a byline when the story reaches the wire services.
