“A federal grand jury in Miami has returned an indictment charging Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and several co-defendants with stealing federal disaster funds, laundering the proceeds, and using the money to support her 2021 congressional campaign. According to the indictment, Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, both of Miramar, worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID vaccination staffing contract in 2021.”

“In July 2021, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds. The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source. Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants,” says a Justice Department press release.

So yeah, you heard of how James Comey, Letitia James, and Dem New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver have been indicted for bullshit reasons? Yeah this isn’t one of those situations. The press release is very long and detailed. She and her three accomplices in all likelihood actually did what they’re accused of. The Congresswoman faces 53 years in the joint, her brother 35.

THAT BEING SAID, is there any fucking reason whatsoever to believe that Cherfilus-McCormick would have been indicted for this had she been a Republican? No. None whatsoever. In fact prosecutors were pulled from a not terribly dissimilar corruption case against utterly loathsome Trump ballsucker Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles before the end of January. It was a pardon in all but name. Both should be nailed to the wall, but only one’s going to prison until she’s fucking 99 years old if convicted at trial (maybe she’s not even being offered a deal). Justice for some.
