BREAKING: Obama Crony Corrine Brown GUILTY on Fraud and Tax Evasion Charges
Irony.
Corrine Brown is a former U.S. Rep. from Florida.
She was accused of fraud, tax evasion, mail fraud and stealing money from underprivileged children.
Again, this is Obama’s “friend.”
Thursday in a federal court in Jacksonville, Brown was convicted on a number of charges.
She claims “they” are trying to “ruin her life.”
Looks like Brown took a page out of Hillary’s playbook – blame everyone but yourself for your failures.
Good riddance.

Brown had pleaded not guilty, blaming her former chief of staff Elias “Ronnie” Simmons for stealing. Brown, a Democrat who previously represented parts of Central Florida in the U.S. House, faced 22 counts of fraud and tax evasion charges after prosecutors say she funneled money from One Door for Education Foundation into her personal accounts.
“They’re trying to destroy my life,” Brown shouted as jurors in Jacksonville filed out of the courtroom for a break after she cried on the stand.
