Audit discovery leads to attorney general filing public corruption charges

[TexasTowelie]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Discoveries made during an ongoing audit of a municipality in Wayne County has led the Missouri’s Attorney General Office to file public corruption charges against the former Greenville City Clerk.

Felony criminal charges have been filed against Pamela S. Birmingham alleging she misappropriated more than $150,000 as City Clerk and forged an entry in the city’s check disbursement log.

“There is no place for public corruption in Missouri,” Attorney General Josh Hawley said. “My office will vigorously prosecute those who attempt to skirt Missouri law for personal benefit.”

At the request of the Attorney General’s Office, the State Auditor’s Office — lead by Nicole Galloway — conducted an audit of the City of Greenville. The audit is still ongoing and a report will be publicly released at a later date.

“There is no place for public corruption in Missouri,” Attorney General Josh Hawley said.

Yeah, right. There is no place for public corruption anywhere in the US, when the minnows do it. But the sharks are safely corrupting the waters year after year. Once in awhile a Big Fish is caught, just to make us believe that the other sharks are being diligently pursued and will be brought to justice.

After all, as my likely illogical thinking goes, Trump would not be president if he and his minions had been brought to justice a long time ago. They would be cooling their heels in prisons. Same goes for a lot of other people who are powerful in our country and are dismantling the US bit by bit.
