Chickens Coming Home To Roost: Rev. Wright’s Daughter Headed To Prison
Daily Caller ^ | 2/23/15 | DEREK HUNTER

Posted on 02/23/2015 6:18:45 PM PST by Impala64ssa

Jeri Wright, the 48-year-old daughter of President Barack Obama’s mentor and former pastor Jeremiah Wright, is heading to jail.

Free on bail while awaiting sentencing for money laundering in connection to a government-funded jobs training program, a U.S. District Court Judge found “there was probable cause to believe Wright committed a separate theft while on bail, thereby violating terms of her supervised release.”

The new charges against Wright involve more sketchy bookkeeping. The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Prosecutors now say Wright was taking part in another scheme — this one involving ghost payrolling — even as she was standing trial. Between Feb. 12, 2014, and May 28, 2014, Wright allegedly got 13 payments totaling $8,192 from a temporary staffing agency “for work she never performed” for a plastics factory in Franklin, Indiana, according to a court filing this month. U.S. Probation Officer Eric W. Fox wrote that Wright “committed theft” by accepting the payments, which allegedly were authorized by a since-fired plant manager who is under investigation for “making fraudulent credit card charges and hiring several” ghost payrollers. Through her attorney, Wright denied the new charges.

Wright faces a March 20 sentencing for her original conviction for making false statements to investigators and before a grand jury, as well as pocketing $11,000 as part of the fraud scheme.

Wright’s got his multi-million dollar estate earned from bashing our wonderful country from the pulpit for years...why should he care?

Not so smart, there.

Show’s how dumb she was too.
She surely could have been appointed to some lucrative DC govt job by Baraq and gone on to loot the Treasury legally.
