GF usually keeps us updated on these matters, but since the election he may not consider them worthy of concern.

From Breitbart, we have the following:

Disgraced ex-Democratic U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah was sentenced Monday to ten years in prison for bribery and stealing campaign contributions, charitable donations, and federal grant money to finance his personal lifestyle.

For those who are really concerned about what goes on in Washington, read the entire article.  It has such a familar storyline.

Thanks for posting as I have been so busy trying to keep up with Trump's cabinet. Fatah is a real scumbag. I have followed him as I worked in Philly for a number of years. However, to be fair here is the rest of the sad story................No reason to hide scumbags Dems or Alt Right.....

I love how you toss out that alt-right for the republicans extremists - Problem is there is no alt-left because ALL off the left has moved so far to the left that there is no moderate anymore.  Just the extreme so no ALT-Left ... just the left which in itself is the alt-left.

https://pjmedia.com/election/2016/08/29/what-about-the-alt-left/

I'd go further and say it's the "Alt-Left" -- which, when you stop to think about it, is actually now the mainstream Left -- that routinely resorts to violence. Indeed, violence and incitement have been part of the "Alt-Left" playbook since 1968. Shutting down free speech and debate is essential to the Leftist world view, and always has been. But what do you expect from people who are triggered by "microaggressions" while they're smashing you in the face with a broken beer bottle?

That consists of acting without Congress, which is one of the things that has so inflamed the issue in the past eight years. Another is the strategy of trying to boost employment with easy money rather than economic growth. It’s a combination that may have delivered what is ostensibly a low unemployment number but has also given us the lowest labor participation rate in decades. This has enabled Mr. Trump to make the argument that, despite the efforts to tar him as a racist, he has the better strategy for striving minorities

Hillary Clinton is set to deliver a speech today addressing her feigned outrage over the rise of the Alt-Right, and in her mind, how it embodies the entire Right in this country. What nobody in the media bothers to mention is that we are having all of these debates on the Right precisely because there are different points of view. On the Left, there is no longer any debate. Every single elected Democrat is now a full-throated member of an extremist coalition the media refuses to recognize: the “Alt-Left,” and Hillary Clinton herself was the original pioneer of the modern movement. This is a movement that is not just liberal but seeks to fundamentally alter the character of our nation as founded. Hillary’s existing Democrat Party is a mirror image of what the political Right in America would look like if all of its prominent figures and elected officials had accounts at Stormfront.org, the neo-Nazi internet forum.

Not the first criminal to serve in Congress and it won't be the last.  Some people seem to have a real hard time, separating job money from personal money.  No matter which party he belongs to, I'm glad he got caught and I'm glad he's going to jail.
