Feds Raid Cincinnati City Hall!

The feds busted Cincinnati councilwoman.

Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of a Cincinnati councilwoman on federal charges involving wire fraud, bribery and extortion.

An affidavit obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer alleges that she attempted to brie and extort, including exchanging her votes for money, between August and December 2019.

"As the affidavit details, a concerned citizen contacted law enforcement following an interaction with Dennard, feeling an ethical and moral obligation to report any criminal wrongdoing," said U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers.

"Text messages from Dennard to the individual during that time include 'Happy to help you. But need yours too;' and 'As I said, I'm sure there will be ways to help you as well and I will,'" according to federal documents.

"The individual then worked at the direction of law enforcement throughout this investigation. It takes courage for citizens to come forward and assisting law enforcement as this individual did."

Dennard had exchanged a total of $15,000, in increments of $10,000 and $5,000, for upcoming votes on a matter scheduled to be heard by council, federal prosecutors said.

If convicted, Dennard will get a federal time out of 50 years.

The city of Dayton had its former councilman and seven others face criminal corruption charges.

In the courtroom, Dennard faces the criminal charges.

Former Ohio Democratic state lawmaker Clayton Luckie, former Dayton commissioner Joey Williams and five others got a federal sandwich. They were accepting offerings from companies in exchange for contacts. Luckie got three years in federal time out. Williams will find out if he's getting a bid in federal time out. He's expected to get at least four years in federal time out.

The city of Baltimore had its former mayor get served for the same shit.

Catherine Pugh was served in her corruption case. She is likely to get four years in federal time out.

The walk of shame.

This happens in local government as well as federal government. But if you're not an ally of Donald J. Trump, don't expect a commuting of your term or a pardon. Trust me, Kwame Kilpatrick is serving 30 years in federal time out for his time.

The former hip-hop mayor represented Detroit. He was caught up in a federal probe that involved reckless spending, quid pro quo, numerous affairs and blackmail. He forced Detroit into bankruptcy.

The state of Michigan managed to handle the city overall and it's still trying to recoup the money lost from declining population and low tax revenue.
