A disgraced Democrat state senator dodged jail thanks to a plea deal over a $600,000 fraud which saw her spend federal cash on her wedding, honeymoon – and subsequent divorce.
Katrina Robinson, 41, struck the plea deal Friday which saw her admit just two of the 20 counts she was facing, with a value of $3,400. Sentencing guidelines could have seen the former Tennessee lawmaker face up to 10 months in prison for those counts.
But US District Judge Sheryl H Lipman decided to let Robinson off with a slap on the wrist, and sentenced her to just a year of probation after claiming that the swindler had suffered enough already.
Robinson, who was removed from office by a vote in February, managed to defraud the government out of the $600,000 by applying for the cash for a nursing school called The Healthcare Institute that she ran, then using it for her own ends.
She frittered away much of the cash on a lavish 2016 wedding, as well as her honeymoon, and even the legal fees for her divorce, when the marriage to her unnamed husband foundered.
Robinson also bought a Jeep Renegade car for her daughter, a Louis Vuitton purse she brazenly displayed in photos, and trips including a lavish vacation to Jamaica, and even bankrolled another snow cone business she operated called Kool Kidz Kones.
It’s all in who you know and who you pay off.
Double standard at WORK in America !!!!
How much suffering is worth $600,000?
She STOLE $600,000 from taxpayers and gets a YEAR of PROBATION?
Because the judge said, “she’s suffered enough”. ????
Let a black guy run out of Wal Mart with a TV or even a loaf of bread and the police will swarm the area to find him and maybe take a shot or two.
HIS sentence will be 2-3 years in prison.
These “leaders” will not stop (you don’t she is the ONLY thieving, lying, stealing, politician, do you??) until we MAKE THEM STOP.
My suggestion is march all of them – top to bottom – into the street and begin the hanging.
Jefferson said we would HAVE TO DO THAT (!) sooner or later and I think “sooner” has been long gone.
81 million votes?? “I never asked, nor knew anything about my son’s business dealings”.
Until it is PROVEN that he did.
THAT’S how easy biden lies. Like water dripping from his mouth.
What do you say now, cheerleaders?
REVOLUTION.
They will not stop.
Until they stop breathing.
I’ll take a jury trial.
Have to agree with LMCLAIN this time.

When they see their co-conspirators dangling from overpasses on their way to the office, only then will they understand.
