Another MAGAt is found guilty...

This one raised money for a statue of a policeman killed in the line of duty, but took the money for herself.

Nevada MAGA-Nut Convicted On Wire Fraud Charges

How else was she supposed to pay for her plastic surgery?

Former Las Vegas City Council Member Michele Fiore was convicted on Thursday in a federal wire fraud case on all counts. The pro-police, anti-vaccine, anti-critical race theory, anti-woke MAGA nut ripped off donors for money that was meant to erect a statue for a fallen police officer.

Fiore, instead, spent the money she was trusted with on rent, plastic surgery, and her daughter’s wedding. She was a “major client" at the plastic surgeon's facility and "spent a lot of money there over the years.”

The culture of much of the republican right based on just doing what they want with out
concern about the law and ethics. Hope she enjoys the prison food as her plastic surgery,
hair colorings, and stylings go away.

Newsweek:

'Lady Trump' Appointed to Oversee Court Cases Hopes to Become a Lawyer

A Nevada Republican who has been described as "Lady Trump" has been appointed to serve as a justice of the peace in the state, a role that will allow her to oversee certain court cases even though she lacks a law degree.

Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman who made an unsuccessful bid to become Nevada's state treasurer this year, was unanimously chosen by Nye County commissioners to fill the seat left vacant by Justice of the Peace Kent Jasperson, who died in August. She will serve in Nye County's Pahrump Justice Court—the driving distance between Pahrump and Las Vegas is about 64 miles—through 2024.

Though she does not have a law degree, Fiore said she intends to become a licensed attorney, The Nevada Independent, a news and opinion website, reported.

. . .

"I've spent my whole life fighting the establishment," Fiore said in the ad. She describes her "three-shot plan" for the state if elected, pulling a pistol from her hip and firing at three beer bottles labeled "vaccine mandates," "critical race theory" and "voter fraud."

How's that for perfection?

...one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and six counts of wire fraud.

Each count could lead to up to 20 years in prison.
