Democrat Former D.C. council member Michael Brown has received over 3 years in federal prison as punishment for his crime of accepting bribes while in office.

Corrupt Democrat Former D.C. Council Member Michael Brown Gets 39 Month Prison Sentence For Bribery

Michael Brown is the 3rd D.C. council member to be found guilty of federal crimes in the past 3 years! This makes Brown a typical Democrat – self-serving, corrupt, and thinks he is above the law.

The corrupt former D.C. council member should have also been held responsible for his campaign finance violations after being caught accepting more than $120,000 in illegal campaign donations from businessman Jeffrey E. Thompson, who has already pleaded guilty to the crime.

If Michael Brown were a conservative he would be paying the price for all of his crimes, instead of just the crime of bribery, and may have been looking at something more like 5 years in federal prison instead of only 3.

Former D.C. Council member Michael A. Brown was sentenced Thursday to 39 months in prison for accepting cash bribes while in office.

Brown admitted to accepting $55,000 in bribes, money that was stuffed in duffle bags and a Washington Redskins coffee mug, from undercover federal agents posing as businessmen who wanted Brown’s help with obtaining certain certifications for a business.

Brown also admitted to accepting more than $120,000 in illegal campaign donations from businessman Jeffrey E. Thompson, who has since pleaded guilty to his role in a widespread corruption scheme.

Prosecutors in court records called Brown’s ultimate acceptance of the bribes in 2012 and 2013 “the culmination of a form of ‘crime creep,’” describing how early on he accepted money from Thompson to drop out of the 2006 mayoral race and endorse another candidate.

Brown was not charged with the campaign finance violations and only pleaded guilty to the felony bribery charge.
Michael A. Brown pleaded guilty to accepting money from undercover agents while he was on the D.C. Council.

Prosecutors had sought a 43-month sentence for Brown.

In addition to prison term, Brown will also serve two years on supervised probation and was required to perform 200 hours of community service.

He is the third D.C. Council member in three years to be found guilty of federal crimes committed while in office.
