A former Maryland state delegate has been found guilty of accepting $20,000 in bribes in exchange for voting "yes" on Prince George's County's Sunday liquor sales bill.
Michael Lynn Vaughn, a Democrat from Bowie, was charged last year with bribery and conspiracy. Federal prosecutors alleged he accepted more than $20,000 in cash bribes "influencing the performance of his official duties,'' including voting for a bill to expand alcohol sales on Sundays.
Vaughn's lawyer insisted his client accepted bundles of money believing they were campaign donations, not bribes. At the open of Vaughn's trial, his lawyer said Vaughn was "stupid'' and "unethical," but not guilty of bribery.

ReplyDeleteImagine receiving bundles of cash as a political donation.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like God is punishing him already.
ReplyDeleteHe's a democrat. he doesn't feel one bit disgraced. the democrat party and it's voters will still hold him up and idolize him just like they do obama and clinton who not only have not ever contributed anything positive to society but lie constantly and haven't an honest bone in their bodies. The democrat party is the party of lies, corruption, perversions and all around nasty people. They even called themselves nasty. One of the only times they have told the truth. They are nasty.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or are more Democrats than Republican politicians getting into legal troubles with regards to their political positions?
ReplyDeleteWait, by definition, bribery is both "stupid" and "unethical".

The only difference between this cat and other delegates is he has been found guilty.
