Democrat accused of embezzlement
...
A Massachusetts Democrat’s fall from grace has sent shockwaves through the state, as Rep. Christopher Flanagan faces serious charges for allegedly siphoning tens of thousands of dollars from a local trade group to prop up his personal life and political ambitions.
The 37-year-old lawmaker’s arrest exposes a troubling pattern of deceit, casting a shadow over the integrity Democrats often claim to uphold.
Indicted on Friday with five counts of wire fraud and one count of falsifying records, Flanagan’s actions reveal a stark misuse of power that undermines public confidence.
According to the Department of Justice, Flanagan’s troubles began around October 2021 when financial woes drove him to pilfer $36,000 from the Home Builders Association of Cape Cod, where he served as executive officer.
“The Justice Department said Flanagan used the funds to pay mortgage bills, pay down debt, and even pay for personal psychic services,” a detail that paints a picture of reckless self-interest over responsibility to those he served.

He is now facing a 20-year sentence in the penitentiary. I wonder if the psychic warned him that he would soon be doing hard time in the penitentiary!
