UPDATE: CORRECTED DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Parents Off to Jail for Corruption?

There is conflicting information on whether these are Wasserman-Schultz's parents:

UPDATE – We checked Wikipedia and several other articles we Googled and they had Diana Wasserman listed as Debbie Wasserman’s mother:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Wasserman_Schultz

Debbie Wasserman Schultz (born September 27, 1966) is the U.S. … She is the daughter of former Broward Commissioner Diana Wasserman-Rubin…

A local Broward blog says that Diana Wasserman is NOT Debbie Wassmerman’s mother, rather Diana Wasserman is just another lying, corrupt Florida Democrat who has engaged in criminal activity. At this point we do not know if they are related or not as several sources are in conflict. If it is a mistake it is an honest one and one that we had sources for – Editor.

DNC Chair’s parents off to jail for corruption Political Arena

Of all of the most vile, bold face, shameless liars in politics, no one tops acting DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We have videos of her and youtube is rife with them; bloggers have sliced and diced her lies with verifiable sources from one end of the country to the other.

Like Mother like daughter?

Broward-Pal Beach Times:

Richard Rubin Sentenced to Ten Months in Federal Prison

Richard Rubin and Diana Wasserman-Rubin

Richard Rubin — husband of former Broward County Commissioner Diana Wasserman-Rubin, who still faces seven felony charges of her own — was sentenced this morning to ten months in federal prison.

Rubin, 66, pleaded guilty in April to federal tax evasion after failing to report $100,000 in fees he received from the town of Davie for a land deal he brokered in 2004.

With attorney David Bogenschutz at his side, Rubin managed to get only ten months up the river — which is in accordance with sentencing guidelines but much less than the maximum penalty of five years.

Rubin had said in court that he and the wife faced financial burdens from damage done to their home by Hurricane Wilma and also owed on a loan he could not repay — which is why he attempted to cheat on his taxes a bit.

That also wasn’t too long after Rubin took in $1.1 million for writing grants for the town of Southwest Ranches — grants that were approved in part by the votes of his wife while she was a county commissioner.

Then, the probable-cause affidavit released last year contended, the couple was living quite lavishly — including spending money on artwork, cruises, vacations to Europe, and a $150,000 home repair project.

Rubin wasn’t charged with tax evasion until April of this year.

The State Attorney’s Office, however, charged Wasserman-Rubin last year with seven counts of felony unlawful compensation related to her votes for her husband’s grant-writing.

You reap what you sow fools....could not have happened to a nicer couple....unless it was Debbie of course.

Can't. Stop. Laughing.

Should I be surprised this is not being reported on any of the "News" sites?

The founders did not want political office to be a well-paying job.
They understood well the type of bottom feeding parasites it would attract if money was an incentive.
People had to have another means of income and possess a profound love of country in order to hold political office.
It was their belief that being a politician was like that of being a pastor. It was a calling from God.
With people like Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, the Clintons, traitor extraordinaire, Cynthia McKinney... the list is endless, the genius of our founders, again and again are proven right.

The Democrat Party isn't even a party anymore, it's a criminal organization.

debbie is it true the apple dose not fall from the tree

[OFA_DA]

You will never hear a peep of this in the news because leftists hold protected status by other leftists. I had to go to @DWStweets twitter mentions and finally saw an the news of it by concerned Broward citizen who exposed her parents for crooks.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not the daughter of Diana Wasserman-Rubin

[Erinyes]

Hey, back off! They're not Republicans so it's okay for them to cheat a little.

[Revnant Dream]

It would be easier to count the Democrats who don't subscribe to tax evasion.

[Nat's daughter]

Only 10 months in Federal(country club) jail??? Infidel4life, you are so correct.

[Chuck Norton]

Pamela,

While Wikipedia and several sources had Diana Wasserman as Debbie's mother, now some sources are popping up saying that Ann Wasserman is her mother.

When we checked Wikipedia and several other articles we Googled had Diana Wasserman listed as Debbie Wasserman’s mother. Here is the wikipedia entry as an example QUOTE:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Wasserman_Schultz
Debbie Wasserman Schultz (born September 27, 1966) is the U.S. … She is the daughter of former Broward Commissioner Diana Wasserman-Rubin…

I say the 'mic' was still on, and all this was said
unknowingly.Clear the air only AFTER it brings attention to
this GUILTY LIBRAWL WASSERMAN and then extend a typical DWS DNC apology.

[JewishOdysseus]

Well, it's hard to tell one crooked Wasserman from another without a program.

[Rene Barrett]

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is NOT related to Debbie Wasserman Rubin.

btw, the only "crime" Debbie Wasseerman Rubin committed is marrying a grant writer for a city that received grant money sanctioned by the Broward County Commission, of which Debbie Wasserman Rubin was a member. Debbie Wasserman Rubin has NOT been convicted of anything.

[Angel Lasuma]

A stinking rotten apple from a rotten tree all in the rotten bandwagon of rotten Obama! Or, birds of the same feathers like her mother and father! Or, tell me who your parents are so I can pretty well tell who you are!

[Tanya Mack]

For those claiming Debbie Wasserman-Schultz isn't Diana Wasserman-Rubin's daughter: Aside from NUMEROUS sources online that cite she is, have you looked at a side-by-side of the 2 of them? They sure look like mother/daughter...& they both have that huge mouth (I'm talking literal size, not just the 'blowing smoke' part-though both are true).

And yes JewishOdysseus, it is correct that Diana Wasserman-Rubin hasn't been convicted of anything...YET; however she HAS been charged with 7 felony counts & from everything I've read there's no reason to believe that she won't be convicted on all 7 counts. Ya gotta do better than that...I mean, hell-Casey Anthony was never convicted either-doesn't mean she didn't DO it.

DEBBIE IS AN OBAMA MOMMA WHO SUPPORTS HIS LEFTIST AGENDA THAT IS DESTROYING OUR GREAT COUNTRY.DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHO HER MOMMA AND DADDY ARE? HER ACTIONS SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT WHERE SHE STANDS.

Don't leave out Chelsea Clinton's new family crime. Democrats are allowed to be criminals.

So apparently this is incorrect in that there is NO RELATION TO THE CONGRESSWOMAN. Should probably remove this post or make a correction.

Sorry I have to take issue with the article; NO ONE is a bigger liar than Obama [or whatever his name is].

[AR1]

Jon Enigma

But it's not even DWS' parents, this post is total bunk. Geller messed up and won't admit it.

[JB]

As much as I despise the Muppet Debbie wasaman schulz , I do not think these are her parents .... ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA ANYHOW She is the daughter of Ann Wasserman, who is employed at Macy's, and Larry Wasserman, a CPA.[4] She received a Bachelor of Arts in 1988 and a Master of Arts with certificate in political campaigning in 1990, both in Political Science, from the University of Florida in Gainesville.[5][6]

[JCP]

But they are NOT related. You can hate all you want but don't fabricate lies to do so. The names are the same but they are difference families. Why lie? It hurts your credibility.

[Tanstaafl]

Obama does not represent us. In any fashion.

[Grace Suarez]

"Deborah Wasserman in Forest Hills, Queens in New York City, she grew up on Long Island. She is the daughter of Ann Wasserman, who is employed at Macy's, and Larry Wasserman, a CPA." Wikipedia

OK, I know we all have issues with the crazy things DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz says. She’s tried to blame the Tea Party for Gabby Giffords, she’s falsely claimed unemployment didn’t go up under President Obama, and she even went so far as to claim Republicans wanted to bring back Jim Crow Laws. However, this time some ridiculous claims are being made about her and her parents and I think its only fair to point out that they are grossly inaccurate.

News flash: Wikipedia isn’t always correct.

The online encyclopedia’s penchant for posting inaccuracies isn’t helping U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, whose parents are listed on Wikipedia as being two fallen public figures in Broward.

Her father Lawrence is a CPA, her mom Ann works at Macy’s, and the two have never been involved in politics, ever.
