The Signal:

A former illegal immigrant turned Democrat darling has now been exposed as exactly what critics warned all along — corrupt, self-serving, and undeserving of the office she held. Tania Fernandes Anderson, once hailed by progressives as a “historic figure” on the Boston City Council, will be heading to prison after pleading guilty to brazen corruption while in office.

Fernandes Anderson, who finally resigned in disgrace this July, cut a deal with federal prosecutors earlier this summer. The U.S. Attorney had recommended one year in prison. But thanks to the two-tiered justice system that always seems to go soft on Democrats, she will serve just one month behind bars for her crimes. That’s right — one month for taking a $7,000 bribe inside Boston City Hall.
