Take, for example, former District Attorney Seth Williams, who is serving a federal prison sentence because he didn’t understand that the DA’s office is not for him to use to score family vacations in the Caribbean. Similarly, former U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah is in prison because he thought he could leverage his access to the White House to settle personal debts. Most recently, Councilman Bobby Henon was indicted by federal prosecutors because he allegedly failed to draw a line between Henon the Councilman and Henon the “electrician” at Local 98. Last year, Congressman Pat Meehan was exposed for using taxpayer dollars to secretly settle a sexual harassment claim made by a former staffer.
