[NJ] The former executive director of a former Head Start program in Jersey City Tuesday admitted that he diverted more than $250,000 from programs for underprivileged children and used the money for personal expenses, including a Maserati and a mink coat, prosecutors said.
Robert E. Mays, 38, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton in federal court to one count of wire fraud.
One count? ONE? Criminy, what did he trade the federal prosecutors in that plea bargain?
According to court papers charging him, Mays in 2013 forged records and duped employees at the Jersey City Child Development Centers into believing that its board of directors had raised his salary 61 percent to $155,000 after acting as executive director for only two months.
Mays was fired in May of 2014, after the board learned of the salary boost, court records say.
Mays also admitted that he withdrew cash from the agency's account in part to pay for the 2007 Maserati, which would have cost more than $100,000 on the market at the time.

[Washington Examiner] FBI agents have confirmed that they recovered records from Hillary Clinton's private server and other electronic devices, but won't reveal any details about those records because that information is being treated as "evidence" in a "pending investigation."
"[A]ll of the materials retrieved from any electronic equipment obtained from former Secretary Clinton for the investigation are evidence, potential evidence, or information that has not yet been assessed for evidentiary value," the FBI said in documents filed with a federal court Monday.
While media reports last year suggested the law enforcement agency had some success pulling potentially deleted emails off Clinton's private server, which it seized in August, the FBI had previously shied away from confirming the existence of recovered records. It also hadn't revealed any details about what was being considered "evidence" in its high-profile investigation.
"Due to the sensitive nature of the investigation, the number of FBI personnel involved in and having knowledge of the pending investigation is limited," the FBI said in the filings.
The FBI argued that disclosing even the number of records it has pulled off Clinton's server, thumb drive or other unnamed devices "could reasonably lead to the public identification and compromising of potential witnesses, as well as defensive actions to conceal activities, elude detection, and/or suppress or fabricate evidence."
The details were revealed through filings in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Vice News against the FBI in search of records related to its investigation of Clinton's private email use.
While the FBI asked a federal judge to allow it to keep information about its probe secret, including a pair of emails sent between FBI and State Department officials, the law enforcement agency did reveal its investigation is focused on a "security referral made for counterintelligence purposes" by the inspector general of the intelligence community.

I agree it can take a long time to build a case. The FBI team on this have to be very careful and build an iron clad case of they will get hammered as incompetent. Let alone during this investigation the Clinton machine is waist deep into harming each and every person investigating it. I would not even raise an eyebrow if the leaders on this investigation start committing suicide...

Keep in mind, they are supposed to be dotting the I's and crossing the T's so it may take a little time. If they screw this up, we no longer have a government.

The day after she sealed the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton took a victory lap of the nation's top newsrooms and delivered the most predictable and practiced comments. She honored her mother. She trashed Donald Trump. She wooed Bernie Sanders' supporters.
...The CNN interview suggests how tone deaf Clinton has become about ethics, specifically concerning how she and her husband blurred the line between her work as secretary of state and their family foundation:
...Just as maddening, Clinton doesn't seem to understand the outrage over her Wall Street speeches.
...Her lack of accountability shines through in the interview with Washington Post reporter Anne Gearan. Clinton takes no responsibility for her low approval and credibility ratings.
...A busy man: Army Ranger then West Point, retired after twelve years, got an MBA and opened a small manufacturing company which has grown to 100 employees. He was briefly a township trustee, but this is his first serious foray into politics. He describes his principle concerns as "Liberty, security, and the economy." I voted for him in the hope that he will very quickly learn to be effective, exercising leadership as he was trained -- the Republican Party needs effective leaders in Congress, herd of cats that they are...
has won the special election to fill former House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... 's seat in the 8th district of Ohio.
The conservative businessman beat Democrat Corey Foister and Green Party candidate Jim Condit Jr. to take over a seat that had been held by Boehner for nearly 25 years.
We're very solidly Republican down here in the southwest corner of Ohio. If Representative Davidson does well, he should be able to hold that seat as long as he wants it.
Davidson stomped out 14 other Republicans in the March primary and had been expected to win the special election in the Republican-leaning district Tuesday.
See above.
Speaker Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... said Davidson will be sworn in later this week.
And then he can start climbing the learning curve. OODA sir, and good luck.

I'm thinking that the Rantburg style manual entry for Rep. Ryan needs to be updated to include his love of amnesty and leading the charge on the omnibus bill, among other things.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
A well worn playbook read by tyrants and despots everywhere.
