Somehow we all missed this one

In September Jeri Wright, daughter of Reverend "God Damn America" Wright, and
12 other Democrats were charged with embezzling $16 million in Federal
health grants that should have gone to AIDS charities and other programs
for the poor and needy.
More than one of the defendants had direct ties to President Barack Obama. On Friday
Reverend Jeremiah Wright's daughter was found guilty of eleven counts
that included money laundering and lying to federal agents. A federal
jury took less than two hours to convict the daughter of President
Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, of fraud.
Jeri
Wright was found guilty of a fraud scheme that siphoned thousands of
taxpayer dollars intended for a not-for-profit work and education
program known as We Are Our Brother's Keeper.
Prosecutor Timothy Bass said Jeri Wright lied "over and over" and went on a "spending spree" that included traveling to Las Vegas, buying vehicles, and remodeling her basement with cash from the money laundering scheme. She was found guilty on all counts.
"If you take and misuse government money, and then lie about it, you will be
held accountable in a court of law," said U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, Jim Lewis.
To be sentenced on 7 July 2014.
