Summary
Gabe Whitley is headed to prison. A Federal Judge sentenced the failed former congressional candidate to three months in prison for falsifying campaign finance reports. The judge's ruling brings to an end a long saga, in which Whitley made up donors and falsely claimed hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. Whitley now will turn his attention to state court, where he faces a felony charge related to threatening Statehouse Happenings' own Abdul-Hakim Shabazz. On this week's show, host Rob Kendall is joined by Shabazz and Jim Merritt to discuss the incredible downfall of the man who went by "Honest" Gabe.
