Trying to gaslight her crimes. She no bid contract hired her married side piece, breaking up the marriage, apparently, to prosecute Trump, then he spent money he made from her contract to take her on luxury vacations.

bitch knows she got caught, what happens next will be key......she'll play every card possible too

[LATB]

I believe that if the blacks in high ranking government positions were scrutinized you would find that most of them are unqualified and corrupt.

[Torqaholic]

She'll need to come clean and tell the country what the White House promised in exchange for persecuting Trump. Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.

There is no honor among criminals. Don't be a dumb ass and get yourself Epsteined Fani.

It all falls under the same reparations rhetoric- white people been getting away with this shit forever, time for black people to get the same benefit

In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice charged dozens of people in a nationwide conspiracy with cheating on elite college entrance exams and admission requirements. The DOJ charged more than 50 people, including actors, lawyers, and wealthy business owners, with conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, money laundering, racketeering, and "honest services fraud."

According to the federal statute, honest services fraud is "a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." The federal law is in 18 U.S.C. 1346. This part of the U.S. Code prescribes many elements for this federal crime.

This law intended to curtail government corruption, but the language in the statute doesn't limit itself to government officials and can include private citizens. There's also no definition of "honest services," no limitation on the statute's scope, and no provision for due process under the law. It's up to the courts to define and limit the statute. This article examines the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation of the honest services fraud statute, with examples of its application over time.
What is Honest Services Fraud?

Honest services fraud typically requires at least three people:

Someone who pays a bribe
Someone who accepts the bribe
Someone who's harmed by the transaction

The person who accepts the bribe owes a duty to the third person, typically an employee or elected official. This duty can be a “fiduciary duty." In the college scandal case, coaches owed a duty to their universities to find the best athletes for the school. They violated that duty by accepting bribes to promote students with no history of athletic ability.

For example, Yale University women's soccer coach Rudolph Meredith pleaded guilty to violating honest services wire fraud. He was charged with devising a scheme to get money and property by fraudulently contriving admission to Yale through bribes and kickbacks, depriving Yale of its right to his honest services.

Honest services fraud can take many forms. It involves many types of conduct. All these types of conduct fall within the scope of white-collar crime. Some of those forms and types of conduct are:

Kickback schemes
Fraud involving financial institutions
Involve violations of mail fraud statutes, if the crime involves the use of the mail
Breach of fiduciary duty for personal gain
Offenses that also entail violations of wire fraud statutes given how this type of crime tends to be committed
Can involve people from the private sector, but can also involve people from the public sector
Can be a consequence of public corruption

Honest Services Fraud Through the Eyes of the Supreme Court

The interpretation of the honest services fraud statute had its birth in the Supreme Court case McNally v. United States. That case held that honest services fraud applied only to tangible property. But Congress disagreed with that interpretation and changed the statute to include intangible property specifically.

After McNally, prosecutors increased their use of honest services fraud. This new emphasis alarmed Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. In Sorich v. United States, Scalia rebuked the statute for its vagueness and expansive scope. He cited several examples, such as a case where students schemed with a professor to turn in a plagiarized paper. Scalia believed that the court should tackle the statute's scope and meaning and reign in its abuses.

Finally, in Skilling v. United States, the Supreme Court took the honest services statute head-on. The holding in the Skilling case anchored the statute's meaning to the pre-McNally cases. Violating the honest services act required a bribe or kickback in those cases. John Skilling, the CEO of Enron, perpetuated a broad fraudulent scheme on shareholders and the public. He was found not guilty of violating the honest services fraud statute because his fraudulent scheme didn't involve bribes or kickbacks.

Lower courts and other federal courts have also weighed in on the matter. But the Supreme Court precedent always governs.
Elements and Defenses to Honest Services Fraud

To be guilty of violating the honest services fraud statute, you must owe a duty of honest service to someone and have deprived that person or entity of the duty owed by accepting a bribe or kickback from another person.

Examples include an elected official violating his duty to voters by accepting a bribe to vote a certain way. For example, former lobbyist Jack Abramoff corruptly provided campaign contributions, trips, meals, and entertainment to public officials in exchange for influence.

Another example is when California doctors were charged with accepting illegal kickbacks to refer patients to specific hospitals for spinal surgeries, defrauding the California workers' compensation system.

The best defenses to a charge of honest services fraud are that there was no duty of honest service owed, that no bribe or kickback took place, or that there was a good faith belief that the representations made were true.
Penalties for Honest Services Fraud

The federal fraud by mail or wire statutes, of which the honest services fraud statute is a part, provide for a fine or a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years, or both. This prison sentence can be for each instance of mail or wire fraud, specifically each letter, each telephone call, and each email. Conceivably, prison sentences could total up to well over 100 years.

Because, like ChemDouche, they are racist fools with a chip on their shoulders.

Chemdawg shut it down about 20 minutes ago. People were speaking the truth and he couldn't stand it any longer.

I checked my crystal ball and verified with a Magic 8 Ball, that absolutely nothing will come of this.

I think you could rob a bank and if you said it was because of Trump, you'd get to keep the money.

She already admitted she hired him as a special prosecutor, I think this is going to be extremely bad for her. Even worse she's playing the race card, no one brought up anything about race except for her.
