Hey Hillary, here’s what normally happens to corrupt pols that divert charitable foundation donations to personal and political use. Why, I remember former Representative Chaka Fattah before he was consigned to the memory hole. He used to be a powerful Democrat in Congress, but now he’s a convict headed for ten-year sentence to the federal pen. His crimes sound familiar to those of us who have been focused on the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation’s hiring of political aides to Hillary in off years since her previous run for the presidency. CBS News reports:

A federal judge has sentenced Former Pennsylvania Congressman Chaka Fattah to 10 years behind bars on charges of racketeering, fraud and money laundering.

Earlier this year, Fattah, 60, was convicted of misspending government grants and charity money to fund his campaign and personal expenses, even as he and his TV anchor wife earned more than $500,000 a year.

His parents divorced when he was young, and his mother soon remarried to a man she met at a national conference on black power in 1968. Following this conference, his mother decided to change his name to Chaka Fattah, to acknowledge their African ethnicity. His adoptive father, David Fattah, and mother, Falaka Fattah (born Frances Brown, also known as Queen Mother Falaka Fattah), are community activists in West Philadelphia, where they are building an "urban Boys' Town" through their organization, the House of Umoja.

As Archie Bunker would have said, "Oh, he's a pip!"

I hope he is disgraced to a degree where even he feels badly.

Chaka Fattah actually asked for leniency for years of public service.

The very same years he was taking bribes.

To democrats - corruption is part of their job description

Now don't make fun of Chaka Fattah's name...he can't help it, it was a mistake by the hospital anyway, his momma told the nurse "Chuck's the father" and it came out "Chuck-da-Fattah". The nurse thought that was the babies name and the rest is history!

So the black man goes to jail and Hillary, a white woman, walks free. Where is Al Sharpton on this one?

HahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHH!!!!!!!

I just love it when a race-baiting-dirtbag-thug-scumsuck gets his just deserts.

Now Chakka can practice his oratory prowess as the new Hoover for Cell Block D. How sweet it is.

Now we just have to round up his roomies, Up-Chuck Rangel, Maxi-pad Waters, and John "Don't call me Jerry!" Lewis. What a nice group of anti-American sphincter-wipes.

“here’s what normally happens to corrupt pols that divert charitable foundation donations to personal and political use.”.........

In Hitlary’s case the key word is “normally”. The Clinton's have set such a precedence for themselves and successfully avoided jail time, everyone is afraid to go after them for fear of the "Clinton revenge", meaning your death penalty if you try it.

to acknowledge their African ethnicity.

If your going to tout your an hyphenated American, and your obviously hyphenated loyalties.

("A hyphenated American is not an American at all." Teddy Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, ) See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphenated_American

“Hyphenated-Americans have hyphenated-loyalties.” Victor Davis Hanson.

My question is just what tribe(s) are you affiliated with. That would be the tribe your affiliated by birth.

And the tribe your affiliated with, that sold you into slavery.
