    Default Midterm madness - she says she'll run in 2018




    FRAUD, EMBEZZLEMENT & THEFT SOUND LIKE DEMOCRAT ACHIEVEMENTS



    A DEMOCRAT running for a U.S. House seat in Virginia has been indicted on charges of fraud, embezzlement and theft.

    Shaun Brown said that she intends to run again in 2018 for a U.S. House seat in Virginia after being defeated in 2016.

    Prosecutors said Brown received about $803,000 via her nonprofit organization as a participant in a U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program.

    They alleged that Brown acquired funds by filing false reimbursement claims with the Virginia Department of Health.

    Prosecutors said Brown and others told employees to inflate the figures for the number of meals served to low-income children, and the nonprofit would the pocket the extra reimbursements, the Washington Post reported.

    According to the Daily Press, Brown acknowledged that the program had “irregularities.”

    Earlier in December, Brown filed a suit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Virginia Department of Health and others, alleging discrimination against African-Americans, delayed payments, falsified reimbursements and claims for reimbursement, the Daily Press reported.

    She and her mother, Jenever Brown, who co-founded the nonprofit, are seeking $10 million in damages, the report said.

    She hasn't been tried yet and I don't know if BAC lives in that Congressional district.

    Steve Bannon may run for President in 2020. How do you like that?
    (He gives Trump only a 30% chance of completing his first term.)

    Should people indicted for fraud run for Congress? I have no strong views on that.

    Eugene Debs ran for President when he was in jail.

    You had no strong views about unindicted Roy Moore running for the Senate?

    How'd that work out for him?

    You seem reluctant to talk about the DEMOCRAT in the OP.

    She is not running . She says she is but the party will not back her. She is talking. She will not be on the ballot. She is not Vitter.

    So you say.

    Do you have any evidence of this organizational reticence or her absence from the ballot next year?

    It is early. You get on the ballot if you get the signatures. That does not make her a backed by the party candidate.

    Are you admitting that you just made them up?
