Democrat “Public Servant” Caught Stealing Millions in Covid Relief Funds, Spending It ON a Rolls Royce and Diamonds
Shelitha Robertson received a seven-year federal prison sentence from a judge. The 62-year-old woman worked as an assistant attorney in Atlanta and registered as a Democrat. She appeared on a podcast before authorities arrested her, where she discussed her commitment to personal responsibility. Courts found her guilty on five charges: conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and three wire fraud counts.
Federal prosecutors stated that Robertson and her partners submitted false applications to the Paycheck Protection Program during the COVID-19 crisis. The group exaggerated employee numbers at four businesses she owned. Robertson spent the stolen money on luxury items including a Rolls Royce and a 10-carat diamond ring. She also gave $1,000 to Democrat Fannie Willis. The total amount she stole reached nearly $15 million.
U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan described the case in a Department of Justice document. He stated that Robertson took millions of taxpayer dollars meant to help small businesses survive the pandemic. Buchanan explained that CARES Act loans aimed to support small businesses during difficult times, not to provide personal wealth. He promised continued investigation and prosecution of anyone who fraudulently obtained these essential funds.
Robertson made public statements about honor and integrity before her conviction. She claimed she would rather face hardship than accept bribes or compromise her values. Robertson said she chose integrity over quick money and refused to sell her soul. She explained that her children's respect mattered more than earning fast cash through dishonest means.
She added that she would not degrade herself for money or pretend to be someone she was not. Robertson stated that maintaining her reputation with her children held greater value than any financial gain.
Social media users mocked the convicted Democrat after news of her sentence spread. One user highlighted how a Democrat prosecutor from Atlanta went to jail for stealing $15 million in COVID funds. The post mentioned her expensive purchases and questioned election results in Georgia. Another user asked whether people should ignore widespread government corruption occurring daily across the country.
Certain users attempted to provide balanced perspectives on the situation. One person stated that Republicans also face corruption issues, but Democrats appear frequently in recent news stories. The same user questioned whether these individuals would steal an election.
Another observer commented that approximately 95% of Congress members seem corrupt. This person suggested that government agencies require complete restructuring and all employees need investigation.
