A Freeper did a “background check” on her. She and her son are from Buffalo, NY where they were interviewed by the local press in 2005 whining that their medical benefits were not sufficient and they actually had to pay in a little bit beyond Medicare.

He’s a computer programmer who has supposedly never been able to find a job, and she’s a woman in her late 50’s described as a “cancer survivor.” Heck, so are a lot of folks, including my mother, who doesn’t expect to get welfare for it.

They obviously float from state to state getting whatever bennies they can, and then decamp when it looks like the fraud authorities are going to catch on to them. Grifters is the word normally used to describe folks like this.

‘A Freeper did a “background check” on her.’

There are database searches....and then there is a ‘background check’.

There is a huge difference. For just one example, there is no such thing on this planet as a ‘accurate criminal database’. Your local PD doesn’t have one, or access to one. Your State PD - same thing. FBI - same thing. NSA - same thing.

“But Henrietta Hughes says these services weren’t free..”

I want pie! Where’s my pie.

I guess she shouldn’t be buying cars on installment plans if she can’t afford the payment. Order of priorities should be:

1. Shelter
2. Food
3. Utilities

The Freeper just checked the press databases, and lo and behold, there was an article in the Buffalo press about Henrietta and Corey in 2005.

Okay, got it.

Thats not a ‘background check’ as the term is used in my line of work. Thats just a slight upgrade over ‘googling’.

Jim Bowlin saw the Hugheses’ story on the news and offered Corey Hughes a $10-an-hour job at his business, Affinitive Concrete Cutting.

“I’ve always been the type of person to help people who help themselves,” Bowlin said.

Corey Hughes, 37, said he also may be interviewing for a job at the Fort Myers Police Department, and Nick Thompson is inquiring about jobs for Corey Hughes at the state attorney’s office.

(2 of 2)

Corey Hughes was fired from a job as a program analyst with Fort Myers in March 2002 for poor performance and inadequate job knowledge. He had held the job since April 2000.

Notice how someone offers him a job, but he’s gonna keep looking.

The left will brand any attempt to expose these scam artists as “racism”.

Good luck Chene Thompson on getting your house back with the copper pipes and fixtures still in it.

Chene is a lawyer. By the end of this, she'll need one, too.

Well, it turned up a lot of information that a criminal database wouldn’t have found...these people appear never to have been arrested (yet) for fraud, but they’re skating pretty close to the edge.

They’re grifters, and grifters can go for a long time, escaping LE notice but still doing a lot of damage and defrauding both agencies and individuals. Sometimes, of course, they get tired of waiting and then kill some poor little old lady who has been nice to them. But the modern welfare grifter usually just floats from state to state. And probably votes Dem in all of them.

‘Well, it turned up a lot of information that a criminal database wouldn’t have found...these people appear never to have been arrested (yet) for fraud, but they’re skating pretty close to the edge.’

I’m looking into it right now. Once you know the identifiers, and the court jurisdictions, its relatively easy, if a bit time consuming - 72 hours or so, before you ‘know’.

Databases are a good starting point, but highly inaccurate, and not even remotely ‘inclusive’. When using a DB you have no idea how it was compiled, when it was updated, how the information contained was verified, or how it was manipulated before, during, or after it was acquired by the provider you select.

The dirty little secret is there is no such thing as an accurate criminal database on this planet. Just pretenders.

She should be arrested or can we just send her to stay with Obama’s mother in law.

Thanks for the posting the SNL link.

This is amazing stuff.

If I read this right, Corey and Henrietta at one time owned three different lots in LeHigh Acres, took out a $125,000 loan to build a house on one, and then skipped out on the loan and walked away from the property (which only two years later sold for $260,000).

And this dead beat woman gets in to see Obama, sits in the front row, and gives her sob story while the MSM laps it up.

Unbelievable.
