Ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been indicted on federal fraud and tax charges.
Federal prosecutors say the alleged scheme is related to the Kilpatrick Civic Fund, a tax-exempt fund that was supposed to pay for voter education and other purposes.
Instead, Kilpatrick is accused of using it as a slush fund to take cash payments for himself, friends and relatives.
In an indictment filed Wednesday, he's accused of failing to report at least $640,000 in taxable income between 2003 and 2008, which includes money, private jet flights and personal expenses paid by the civic fund.
The government says he used the money to pay for yoga and golf lessons, golf clubs, summer camp for his kids, personal travel, moving expenses, as well as "counter-surveillance and anti-bugging equipment."
He'll be arraigned July 13.
Wayne County Circuit Court Judge David Groner sentenced Kilpatrick to up to five years in prison on May 25 for violating probation stemming from his conviction for lying under oath about an affair with his chief of staff. The 2008 criminal case forced him out of office.
Notice... they didn’t mention that Kilpatrick is a DummyCRAP.
Dumb, Democrat, and a crook.
His defense: racist personal attack by an out of control government agency. Take bets?
I could be generous and say it’s because there hasn’t been a republican in office in Detroit for over 40 years...
...but I know better.
“Dumb, Democrat, and a crook.”

Why the redundancies?
So where is the indictment of Rangle, Frank, Dodd, etc?
So when are they going to look into Annenberg?

Speaking of taxes, didn’t MO say they just paid off their college loans but it wasn’t listed on their income tax?
Rangel was told to forget about it,
Dodd got a sweetheart deal on his,
and Barney won't even get a swat on the Fannie.
This is good news but I’ll save my elation until and if the day comes when there is an indictment of one of the biggest tax-cheats in the history of government, Charlie Rangel (D) NY.
Hey look at that. He’s not a member of a political party, or at least that’s what the news story seems to indicate.
Because bmwcyle is from the Department of Redundancy Department!
>scheme is related to the Kilpatrick Civic Fund, a tax-exempt fund that was supposed to pay for voter education...
This is so disgusting of these racist scumbags it’s impossible to laugh at them.
Innocent!
Now move along, nothing more to see here...!
Post of the day!
Enjoy prison scumbag.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer big black bumbling buffoon.
