­Shelitha Robertson, a former Atlanta assistant attorney, has been sentenced by a federal judge to seven years in prison. Robertson, a democratic appointee, appeared on a podcast before her arrest to discuss how seriously she takes accountability. Ironically, she was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of money laundering, and three counts of wire fraud.

According to prosecutors, Robertson and her accomplices made fraudulent applications to the Paycheck Protection Program during the pandemic. The criminals inflated the number of employees at four of her businesses and used her ill-gotten gains to purchase a Rolls Royce, a 10-carat diamond ring, and to donate $1,000 to Democrat Fannie Willis. Overall she stole nearly $15,000,000.

U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan, explained the case in a Department of Justice (DOJ) filing. He explained how “Robertson allegedly stole millions of dollars in taxpayer money intended to help small businesses stay afloat during the pandemic.” He also explained how the loans were intended to be used, “CARES Act loans were designed to help sustain small businesses during the pandemic, not to serve as a source of personal enrichment.  We will continue to vigorously investigate and prosecute anyone who fraudulently obtains these critical funds.”

Ironically, the Shelitha Robertson, 62, made a public appearance where she spoke about the importance of integrity. Robertson explained that she’d rather suffer than sacrifice her honor to take a bribe. She said, “I choose integrity and whatever else it brings. I don’t choose selling your soul to the devil… because that means I’m willing to do anything, belittle myself, and degrade myself for the love of $1.”

She continued to make herself look even more guilty by explaining, “I’m not gonna do it. My integrity, what my kids and how my kids respect me and view me mean more to me than me earning a quick dollar, portraying to be something that I’m, or it may they may well, they very well may be that way. That might be true… I’m not there to judge.”

Social media users were quick to mock the corrupt Democrat. One reply read, “Tip of the iceberg. Almost every business owner got a piece of that action, but some got out of control greedy.” Another said, “This is perfect. Dem attorney convicted in $7 million COVID relief fraud case.” One man objected, “Another corrupt criminal scammer that happens to be a lawyer, judge, and politician wannabe. She’s just one of the few to be caught.”

Some accounts speculated whether 7 years was a just punishment for her fraud. One user wrote, “Did she have to repay any of the money she stole? If not, then with TOFGB, she’ll serve about five years, which means $3 million per year served. It’s hard to find a gig that will pay you that much and include room and board.” Another reply read, ” 7 years seems kind of light to me. 10-15 would be better.”
