Honest Services Fraud?
That's the charge and the verdict is . . . . . . Guilty!!!!!!!!!! Of course it's guilty, but at least the latest Street stooge, Leonard Ross, had the foresight to plead guilty, hoping for a reduced sentence. 18-33 months is the possibility of jail time, but it is unlikely he will even see that.

Philadelphia Mayor John Street continues to claim ignorance of all the corruption surrounding him. Sure, he found an FBI wiretap in his office during a heated reelection campaign, but that only galvanized his support amongst Philly's wretched masses, catapulting him to a huge victory in a race that was very tight. And why not? Philly has been on a downward slide since WWII. At least, by electing yet another crook from a barbaric Democrat regime, the city insures consistency. Consistent poverty, filth, and an utter disregard for reason.
But, I digress, back to the swine that run the city. Street has now seen his two top advisers go down in flames. Ross was the second, pre-dated by long-time Street ally, Ronald White who at least had the courtesy to die during his trial, saving Street the embarrassment of testifying. However, there are many trials yet to go, with as many as a dozen more City Hall insiders to face the wrath of the Feds. Oddly enough, court time will probably lend further credence to the corrupt political maestros of America's first capital, but it should be a fun show. Here's hoping we can toast to John in the witness box soon, and who knows, maybe even the defendant's chair.
