I came here to make a smartass comment, but then I remembered that Houston sends Shelia Jackson Lee to Congress so now I got nothing. Moving along....

Is there any NYS politician of any party who couldn't be convicted of something if there were any honest people in positions to prosecute?  Disclosure, nephew of former syracuse politician.

Her Boss Heastie is also a crook and was able to hold onto a home that prosecutors said his mother had bought with embezzled money and that a judge had instructed him to sell.

22 years ago I knew of a similar women in a Raleigh, NC legislative admin position.

She was the middle generation of a family firmly dug into three separate units of the
same section 8 apartment complex.

She drove a new BMW and her 42 dollar a month subsidized apartment was full of new furnishings
and African tribal art.

 That exact scenario is actually more common than you think. Our entitlement programs are designed for abuse.

Someone who is close to my wife's brother lost an IT contract for 25k, for 5 computers + light support a few years back. The Bronx politician told that someone to bill for 50k and kick 18k in cash directly to the politician.

All of this in a meeting with politician's counsel and their equivalent of "comptroller" present.

They think they are impervious.

They (IT) did not report for fear of repercussions.
