If you dig WAY WAY down into the article, it does actually mention, in passing, that she’s a Democrat... If she had been a Republican, it would have been in the headline.

As she left the coutroom after hearing the verdicts, Brown appeared shocked.

She obviously didn't think that a female black Democrat politician could get convicted.

I could tell she was a (D) by the fact it was neither in the headline, nor the first sentence.

"How much time did she get?"

There will be a sentencing hearing - you'll know after that.

What about the claim that she’s ugly. Was she found guilty of that?

As a person who lives in her district due to fact when we purchased our retirement mobile home you don’t check to see who your congress person is..but that being said she is haughty and uses he race card....she wont get the 350 years but I do believe she will spend time in Federal Prison and since she is 70 years old Hopefully its rest of her life she can also get up to 5 million in fines..this was Federal and the prosecution had all the i and t’s dotted and crossed.

Obviously a democrat. Otherwise:

“Republican John Doe (Republican - In the 56th state), who is a member of the Republican party, was convicted of fraud while a member of the Republican party and is a Republican.”

Does anyone know the range of possible sentences? From the number of charges on which she’s been found guilty, I hope she gets to spend the rest of her days behind bars.

Her conviction followed by a stiff sentence should help set an example for many others.
