Judge Throws Book at Former Congressman, Sentences Him To 30 Months in Prison for Election Fraud

A judge threw the book at a corrupt democrat communist former congressman, sentencing him (he is 79 years old) to 30 months in prison for multiple voting fraud felonies.

This from slaynews.com.

Michael “Ozzie” Myers, 79, of Philadelphia, PA, was sentenced to 30 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $100,000 in fines, with $10,000 of that due immediately, by United States District Court Judge Paul S. Diamond, after pleading guilty to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election, and for orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff the ballot boxes for specific [communist] candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania elections.

Holy hell! And only thirty months? A thirty-year sentence would have ensured he would be exiting the facility in a body bag. That would have sent a clearer message, yes?

U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero said:

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy. If even one vote has been illegally cast or if the integrity of just one election official is compromised, it diminishes faith in process.

This defendant used his position, knowledge of the process, and connections to fix elections for his preferred candidates, which demonstrates a truly flagrant disregard for the laws which govern our elections. He will now spend 30 months in prison as penalty for his crimes.

Jacqueline Maguire, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division, said:

Protecting the legitimacy of elections is critical to ensuring the public’s trust in the process.

Through his actions, Ozzie Myers pointedly disdained both the will of Philadelphia voters and the rule of law.

He’s now a federal felon twice over, heading back behind bars, with time to consider the great consequence of free and fair elections.

DOJ issued a statement that said:

In June 2022, the defendant admitted in court to bribing the Judge of Elections for the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia in a fraudulent scheme over several years. Myers admitted to bribing the election official to illegally add votes for certain candidates of their mutual political party in primary elections.

Some of these candidates were individuals running for judicial office whose campaigns had hired Myers, and others were candidates for various federal, state, and local elective offices that Myers favored for a variety of reasons.

Myers would solicit payments from his clients in the form of cash or checks as ‘consulting fees,’ and then use portions of these funds to pay election officials to tamper with election results.

Myers also admitted to conspiring to commit election fraud with another former Judge of Elections for the 39th Ward, 2nd Division in South Philadelphia.

Myers’ accomplice was the de facto Judge of Elections and effectively ran the polling places in her division by installing close associates to serve as members of the Board of Elections.

Myers admitted that he gave his accomplice directions to add votes to candidates supported by him, including candidates for judicial office whose campaigns actually hired Myers, and other candidates for various federal, state, and local elective offices preferred by Myers for a variety of reasons.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Richard P. Barrett, Chief of the Criminal Division, and Eric L. Gibson with assistance from Richard C. Pilger, the former Director of Elections Crimes Branch (retired), Criminal Division, Public Integrity Section, U.S. Department of Justice.

Final thought: Word smithing is often necessary and at times convoluted–I struggled somewhat with the opening sentence of this article?

My apologies to all Def-Con News readers for giving you: “…corrupt democrat communist former congressman.”

Yes, he is no longer a congressman, hence the word ‘former’ but ‘corrupt democrat communist’ is a blatant redundancy. And there I go again with the superfluousness. Putting ‘blatant’ with ‘redundant’ is also exceeding what is sufficient, yes? Just like putting ‘communist’ with ‘corrupt.’

Damn communists! Think of the redundancy we’ll be experiencing over the next 3-24 months with the Military Tribunals of dozens, if not hundreds, of corrupt democrat communist former members of congress and the Obiden Regime.

However, may we also think of it as a necessary, worthwhile redundancy.

And God speed to Conservatism.
