She would be Corrine Brown. I guess this scumbag is finally going to trial. Now she is doing the typical poor old woman gig with the church bishop helping her walk to the court[:(!]
This heap of gater crap is a prime example of why the swamp needs draining.

Prosecutors in Florida have told jurors a former congresswoman financed a lavish lifestyle of Beverly Hills shopping trips and fancy parties on donations to a charity ostensibly set up to help poor children with scholarships.
Testimony will continue for a second day Thursday in the trial of former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, 70. She has pleaded not guilty to multiple fraud and conspiracy charges. Prosecutors have laid out an expansive case in U.S. District Court, charting years of payments they say were funneled from the charity to her personal bank accounts.
"She knew exactly how to lie to these donors, and knew exactly where the cash money was going," said Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Tysen Duva in his opening statement Wednesday.
Lawyers presented two opposing portraits of Brown to the federal jury in Jacksonville, part of a district the former Democratic congresswoman had represented since 1993. One was of an entitled, corrupt politician and the other that of a befuddled, aging lawmaker whose trusted adviser betrayed her. Her attorney James Smith said she was duped by her former chief of staff, Elias "Ronnie" Simmons.
Federal prosecutors said Brown and her associates used a charity called One Door for Education to bring in more than $800,000 between 2012 and 2016, much of which they used for lavish trips, tickets to a Beyonc? concert, shopping excursions in Beverly Hills and other personal expenses.
Brown's indictment says the Virginia-based One Door only gave out one scholarship for $1,200 to an unidentified person in Florida.
That is just icing on her cake.
