Feds Indict Pennsylvania US Rep. Fattah in Racketeering Case

A longtime Philadelphia congressman who was indicted Wednesday paid off a campaign loan with charitable donations and federal grants, funneled campaign money to pay down his son's student loan debt and disguised a lobbyist's bribe as payment for a car he never sold, federal prosecutors said.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah and four associates were charged with racketeering conspiracy. They also were charged with bribery, conspiracy to commit wire, honest services, bank and mail fraud, and money laundering, among other things.

The Feds can indict him all day long, but remember that Atty Gen. Lynch will see that it is squashed;homeboys don't get prosecuted as long as Obama is in office.
