Freeman’s quick climb up the ranks of the powerful Service Employees International Union burnished his reputation as an effective advocate for the disadvantaged, a man who helped improve the lot of about 190,000 workers paid about $9 an hour to provide in-home care for the infirm.
On Tuesday, however, Freeman was indicted on federal charges of stealing from those workers to enrich himself, including by billing the union for costs from his Hawaii wedding.

He should have become POTUS and stole a TRILLION, like his buddy Hussein Obama.
That’s one.
I wonder who he pissed off.
If he's convicted and I was the federal judge sentencing him I'd give him a bit of a break.
Even though he's a corrupt union thug boss I'd probably sentence him to a mere 100 years. After all, in the federal system he could be paroled in 85 years for good behavior.
Why would anyone making $9.00/hr need a union? Minimum wage here in Wash. State is already $9.04.
One of Holder’s people. He’s safe.
Their real intention, though, is to steal from poor people.
Poor people are easier prey than rich people...
i agree with you.
i would be that lenient also. i am an humanitarian.
blessings, bobo
Color me surprised.
gee can you imagine that.
The mindset which prompts a thief to steal is always there working in the background.
The problem I have with thievery is that most of my fellow citizens do not view what their city, county, state and federal officials do as thievery; when it clearly is.
Unexpected? Not!
Typical union crook, except this one was stupid enough to get caught.
I wonder what Holder will do to slow walk this case though the courts to get “ one of his people” time to check in to a clinic and disappear...
I would bet good money this slime ball NEVER sees a day in jail...
SEIU thug, black never going to happen....
The LA Times can write any story they want....but in the end with these dirtbags in the DOJ ....justice will never be served....
Another January pardon....
An obviouis case of SHOTODFYOUMWB (Stealing Hundreds of Thousands of dollars from your own union members while black).
Just another one of obama’s “relatives” promoting family values by demonstrating theft.
