Two Pennsylvania Democrats Bribed To Oppose Voter ID Laws

by JASmius



They had to be bribed?  They didn't just do it for the righteousness of The Cause?  Shocking!:

State representatives Vanessa Brown and Ron Waters were caught as part of a years-long investigation that found they accepted $4,000 and $7,650, respectively, in cash or money orders from a confidential informant in 2011 ahead of a vote for a bill that required voters to show identification at the polls; the law passed, but was struck down by a judge in January of this year.

Seriously, Brown and Waters wouldn't have voted against that voter ID law anyway?  Which is to say, they didn't smell a ringer when they were offered bribes to do what they were going to do all along?  Not the sharpest knives in the drawer, are they?

Waters also reportedly accepted a $2,000 Tiffany bracelet.

Following a grand-jury investigation, Philadelphia district attorney Seth Williams said Brown and Waters “fully admitted that they knowingly took illegal cash payments.”

In other words, they wittingly and with corrupt malice aforethought broke the law.  Open and shut case, right?

Only if you choose to prosecute it in the first place:

When the revelations emerged earlier this year, the Keystone State’s top law-enforcement officer, Democrat attorney general Kathleen Kane, said she would not charge Brown or Waters, and shut down the operation that began under her predecessor, then–attorney general and currently outgoing Republican governor Tom Corbett. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Kane called into question how the investigation was conducted and suggested that race played a role in targeting Brown and Waters, who are black.

Because blacks, as part of de facto slavery reparations, are exempt from all federal, state, and local laws, and are entitled to vote as many times as they want in order to ensure that Democrats win every single race, federal, state, and local, from sea to shining sea.  And if you try to mess with that sweet deal, you're a racist and will be summarily destroyed.

Then-AG Corbett, by the way, took up the prosecution of Brown and Waters because Reichsfuhrer Eric "The Red" Holder and his Commissariat of Injustice, Revenge & Coverup declined to do so with the same corrupt, extremist alacrity with which they are going after local police departments on mythical charges of racism.  Because, you know, blacks, as part of de facto slavery reparations, are exempt from all federal, state, and local laws, and are entitled to vote as many times as they want in order to ensure that Democrats win every single race, federal, state, and local, from sea to shining sea.

Kudos to the courageous Seth Williams for doing Holder's and Kane's jobs for them.  Over/under on how many days his career has got left is in double-digits.
