Usually, when stupid liberal officials release an inmate over COVID they have no problem saying that’s the reason…as a matter of fact, they seem to love to use COVID as an excuse for anything and everything under the sun.
But nobody knows why this disgraced Democrat politician was released from prison after only serving half of his 10-year-sentence…and when asked, nobody seems to want to answer.
I can tell you that Chakata Fattah Sr. is a close ally of Barack Obama. Very close. I can also tell you that his son, Chakata Fattah Jr., was sentenced to 5-years in prison for his own fraud convictions.

Nice family.
Chaka Fattah is a Democratic congressman who was indicted on charges of bribery and corruption that were linked to his failed Philadelphia mayoral bid and he’s been mysteriously released from federal prison. Fattah charges include money laundering, racketeering, and bank fraud.
He was released without explanation last week, and everyone is being rather tight-lipped about it.
According to reports, the former Pennsylvania Democrat congressman had more than five years left on his sentence after reporting to prison in 2016. He was indicted along with several associates. In one instance, Philadelphia Magazine reported, he tried to cover up $18,000 by forging documents to make it appear as though he had sold a Porsche that belonged to his wife, Renee Chenault Fattah, who was an anchor at a local news desk at the time.
Adding more mystery to Fattah’s release, just last year a federal judge resentenced him to a 10-year prison term.
During his initial sentencing in December 2016, Fattah was ordered to pay more than $614,000, including $100,000 to NASA. After a series of appeals, the government won and the disgraced congressman was sentenced again July 12th, 2019.
“Let today serve as a warning to all public officials who allow greed or a thirst for influence to overpower any desire to serve the community honestly,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said at the time.
“If you are a corrupt official, we will investigate and convict you, and we will remain steadfast behind our prosecution until the last appeal is wrapped up and the final proceeding complete,” she added. “Today’s sentencing illustrates the strength of our original case and the need to put Chaka Fattah behind bars for a very long time.”
As to potential reasons for his release, the Philadelphia Inquirer suggested that coronavirus concerns may have driven the BOP’s decision. According to local reports, Fattah remains under “community confinement,” either at home or a so-called “halfway house.”
But no one is talking. The BOP did not issue a statement as to why Fattah was let out just a year after being resentenced. There was no public statement given by federal prosecutors, and, according to Philadelphia Magazine, Sam Silver, also has not issued a statement.
Sounds to me like Obama might have pulled some strings to get his crooked, disgraced, criminal buddy out of office.

Must be nice to be a privileged liberal elite like Obama and his unsavory, convict friends.
