Federal prosecutors charged Prince George’s County Del. Tawanna P. Gaines on Monday with taking more than $22,000 from her campaign account for her personal use and she has resigned from Maryland General Assembly.
Gaines, a Democrat, is charged with wire fraud in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt. According to a filing by U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur, Gaines used a PayPal account that she controlled to take money from the Friends of Tawanna P. Gaines campaign finance account between 2015 and 2018. The PayPal account was not listed in Gaines’ campaign finance filings with the state, prosecutors alleged.
Gaines, 67, is expected to be scheduled for an initial appearance and arraignment Oct. 17, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones announced Monday that Gaines had resigned her seat in the House of Delegates on Friday.

DeleteThe term "Maryland politician" and "Criminal" are interchangeable.
ReplyDeleteI think an investigation into ANY politician would yield similar results.
ReplyDeleteThis crooked Democrat was given an award for PUBLIC SERVICE AND INTEGRITY - AFTER she had been fined many times for campaign finance violations while "serving" as VICE Chair of APPROPRIATIONS. Sounds about right, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: I truly believe that they are unable to resist the temptation. I have numerous examples of this that are similar but on multiple levels of corruption. One of the most significant issues with corrupt criminal politicians is their susceptibility to blackmail. They place themselves in a position where they can be manipulated by unscrupulous individuals who might benefit from political decisions.
ReplyDeleteSurprise, Surprise! NOT!!

Correction. That should read "Maryland Democrat" or "Maryland Democrat politician." Not all politicians are criminals.
