A jury on Thursday convicted former 12-term Democratic Congresswoman Corrine Brown on more than a dozen federal fraud charges.
Brown and Ronnie Simmons, her chief of staff who previously pleaded guilty in the case, were named last year in a 24-count federal indictment relating to a scheme led by Brown in which she used her official post as a member of Congress to help solicit $800,000 in contributions for a sham education charity, One Door for Education.

32. It was further part of the conspiracy that BROWN, SIMMONS, and
Wiley used more than $200,000 in One Door For Education funds to pay for events
hosted by BROWN or held in BROWN's honor, including a golf tournament in
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida; lavish receptions during an annual conference in
Washington, D.C.; the use of a luxury box during a Beyonce concert in
Washington, D.C.; and the use of a luxury box during an NFL game between the
Washington Redskins and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Washington, D.C. area.
Also, She had the gall to claim over 12K in charity to HER FAKE ORGANIZATION that she was pulling 800 dollars a day from that account and depositing in her personal account 
Dumb idiot
Just gotta point out that it's good to see Dems acknowledging when someone has let us down. We face up to problems and resolve to do better.
What a contrast to er, um any party that condones and covers up for misconduct, even at the highest levels. No ethics whatsoever.
