FBI Begins To Take Down Child Welfare Fraud Programs In Collaborative Conjugations
I have been pontificating on the use of child welfare funding going into political campaigns for the tenure of my blog.
As always, I had to analyze the original documents.
The FEC issued a letter calling for disavowment of using funds from a third party to fund a politcal campaign.
She probably charged food for campaign events to the USDA program.
Looking at her campaign committee funding for the 2016 cycle, below, she did not raise very much money, but did nake an odd contribution herself, in the FEC filing, below.
I will bet anything she was what I like to call a prop candidate.
The DNC is notarious for this type of surrogate action.
They pick someone out the blue who they know will be fully complicit to whatever the party tells them to do because they will be elevated to the ranks of a community queen, finally achieving being chosen to go to the promised land of a better financial lifestyle.
In order to be recognized and blessed by the party, you must first demonstrate that you can raise money.
I call it distraction of the pretty shiney trinkets because all I found was a facebook page for the campaign, making this a low budget hustle.
This woman did not have the financial acumen to raise money.
She was used as a patsy.
Then, as she is busy studying her DNC talking points, like a good little girl, the operatives come out the cyber woodwork and set up money laundering operations because they know the FEC is ill-equipped to do very much.
I wonder how much they raised behind her back and not even report.
All I am saying is that there is more to this story than just ripping off sandwiches from the kids.
Come to Detroit.
Congressional candidate Brown indicted for fraud, theft
| Shaun Brown, Democratic Candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, Virginia, District 2, 2012 |
A federal grand jury has indicted Democratic congressional candidate Shaun Brown on charges of fraud and theft of government property.
The indictment alleges that Brown and others with JOBS Community Outreach Development Corp. filed fraudulent claims with the Summer Food Service Program in 2012, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said.
Brown, meanwhile, has gone to court herself, accusing the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the state Department of Health and several officials of discriminating against her and the organization she co-founded with her mother, Jenever Brown, which ran the summer feeding program for children.
“This is about making sure there are no hungry children in Hampton Roads,” she said.
Brown ran for Congress in 2016, losing to Rep. Scott Taylor, R-Virginia Beach, by nearly 23 percentage points.
She is again seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2018 race.
The indictment says that Brown directed JOBS staff to inflate the number of children actually fed and to falsify documents in order to obtain additional money, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
She has been charged with wire fraud and theft of government property, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison if convicted.
“We will vigorously defend. She maintains her innocence,” said her attorney, Jimmy Ellenson.
He said there’s been “a longstanding dispute between her and the feds about this whole thing,” adding that the timing of the criminal complaint seems unusual, given Brown’s own recent lawsuit.
“And why would they do this right before Christmas?” he asked.
In the lawsuit, which she filed without a lawyer, Brown says she and her mother filed a civil rights complaint against USDA alleging the agency’s summer food program discriminated against them.
The lawsuit says the USDA, state health department and five officials unlawfully delayed payments, and falsified reimbursements and claims for reimbursements.
Brown alleged that USDA officials in 2016 derailed JOBS’ efforts to secure financing to “satisfy its prior financial commitments for 2012, outstanding bills from the summer of 2012 and $625,000 to purchase” a restaurant that the company hoped to use as a central kitchen for its summer feeding programs. Her lawsuit says that calls from state health officials to a funding group and to her supplier upset agreements JOBS hoped to arrange. It adds that the state’s designation of JOBS as a “high risk auditee” after 2012 cut it out of the summer program. The lawsuit says the state has falsely claimed JOBS was involved in fraud.
The suit seeks $10 million in damages.
Brown asked the U.S. District Court in Alexandria to appoint an attorney for her, but Judge Liam O’Grady denied the request, saying that the exceptional circumstances that allow judges to do so in civil lawsuits did not exist in her case.
Her campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission show she’s raised $713,491 as of the end of October, all but $2,750 of which came from her. She said most of that was in the form of stock in her company. The FEC report shows she has no cash on hand in her campaign account.
