Congressional Democrat Gets 10 Years in Prison for Corruption

bribeFor some strange reason this was NOT all over the media.

The Hill reports:

Former Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.) was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Monday on charges of money laundering, bribery and fraud. 

Fattah, 60, resigned from the House in June after being convicted on more than 20 counts of corruption. He’ll have to report to prison by Jan. 25, 2017, to begin his sentence. 

Prosecutors had called for Fattah to receive 17 to 22 years in prison. 

New Hampshire Congressional Democrats Carol Shea-Porter and Ann Kuster have received campaign contributions from Fattah’s Leadership PAC in the past.
