The feds came down on Tennessee State Senator Katrina Robinson like a ton of bricks after they caught yet another corrupt Democrat with he fingers in the till. Now she’s looking at a long stretch on ice in prison.
Another Democrat raided by feds
The Federal Bureau of Instigation is trying to clear their name with fresh Obamagate evidence emerging on a daily basis. To gain a few brownie points with conservatives, the feds decided to crack down on another case of official corruption. It’s only a coincidence that the scheming Senator they netted was a liberal Democrat. The progressive socialist got a little excessive with the share the wealth philosophy.
Katrina Robinson, age 39, was charged by the feds with theft and embezzlement, court documents reveal. She allegedly skimmed $600,000 from the accounts of The Healthcare Institute, where she held a spot as a director. It’s unclear how many other corporate officers there were and what their roles included. What is known is that the institute got $2.2 million in federal grant money which Robinson used any way she wanted.
As laid out in by the feds, while serving the 33rd District in Tennessee’s Shelby County, Robinson “used the stolen funds to buy a 2016 Jeep Renegade automobile for her daughter, a $5,000 wrought iron front entry door for her home, clothing, accessories and beauty products. She also used the stolen funds to finance her wedding, honeymoon and the legal fees for her divorce.”
Anyone will be vigorously investigated
It doesn’t matter who you are or what positions in government you hold. The feds made it clear in a press conference that “anyone who seeks to take advantage of government programs will be vigorously investigated by the FBI, regardless of who they are or any position they hold.
As related by Acting Special Agent in Charge Jermicha Fomby, from the FBI Memphis Field Office, “The public should know that the FBI will continue to work diligently with our law enforcement partners to identify and investigate those who seek to exploit government programs and line their own pockets.” the feds are really getting sick of hearing everyone accusing them of having one form of justice for the privileged and another for everyone else. That’s not true, they counter. Not just any official is covered, you have to have really special connections for that.
As the feds spelled out in their indictment, Robinson also used the embezzled money to “pay off her credit cards and student load, finance travel and entertainment for her family, pay for expenses related to her children’s snow cone business and an event for her State Senate campaign.” As itemized by the government, snow cone supplies cost a fortune these days. Robinson’s biggest mistake was getting someone she knew mad at her. The investigation started when the Department of Health and Human Services got a phone tip that “she bought a $550 Louis Vuitton bag using the Institute’s funds.” She’s facing up to 20 years in federal prison.
