FOX: A veteran Pennsylvania congressman was convicted Tuesday in a racketeering case that largely centered on various efforts to repay an illegal $1 million campaign loan.
U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah was found guilty of all counts against him, including racketeering, fraud and money laundering. His lawyers had argued that the schemes were engineered without Fattah’s knowledge by two political consultants who pleaded guilty in the case.
The 59-year-old Democrat had been in Congress since 1995 and served on the powerful House Appropriations Committee. But he lost the April primary and his bid for his 12th term. His current term ends in December. more
Wow, this sounds serious, but I must have missed this story in the NY Times and the Washington Post.
Chaka Fattah, Never heard of him. But that sounds like an obscene sex act with a goat.
Not to worry! Obama will pardon him.
So the lawyers enter a plea of dindu nuffins and he’s still found guilty on all counts. Hope he stashed enough back to pay for a Presidential pardon.
Chaka likah cockah.
Real name Arthur Davenport….or sofa….no Davenport
I don’t give a damn if he’s Republican, Democrat, Independent, Irish, lesbian, Mexican, bat boy, marathon runner or spittoon cleaner, if he violated the law….string him up.
It hasn’t escaped my consideration that right about now, there seem to be an inordinate number of scum sucking liberal politicians being caught in, or fessing up to criminal behavior. Further, I suspect they are being convenient in hopes of a pardon from our criminal in chief or, God forbid and save us all, that lying criminal bitch, Bill’s nonfunctional female wife.
Does he know Chaka Khan?
P.S. “My Nigga”
Even FOX doesn’t mention his party affiliation until paragraph 3.
Gave the money back: the greatest political crime of all.
That name alone should get him 20 years.
He was just working on his resume for Hillary’s VP slot. …BINGO!
PA politician ‘of color’ guilty of corruption? What a shocker!
“His current term ends in December.”
Nope, his term ended yesterday, he’s going to go be with Bubba for a few years.
Fresh fish.
I hope he enjoys being the new bitch in Bubba’s, Thor’s, Tiny’s, and Dr Julio’s prison harem. With a steady diet of cockmeat sammichs, with extra manmayo and nut butter.
And the colorectal treatments should be a scream as well. In the near future, when he farts, he won’t squeak, he’ll “whoosh”.
Caca Fatta = Big Stank.
His son… Chaka Chip (seriously) is serving five years in prison, convicted of felony bank and tax fraud in February this year. Chip learned well from his Pappy.
Thanks to Arthur Davenport’s shenanigans, his wife, a once-popular TV Anchor in Philly, has been taken off the air.
Oh, and this winner is a Super Delegate for Hillary. 🙄
