  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tina and Hillary cover former Missouri State Representative Patricia Derges and former Governor of Louisiana Edwin Edwards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Patricia Derges served as a Missouri state rep beginning in November 2020.  BUT when she sold fake cures for Covid she swindled herself out of a job and into jail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Edwin Edwards served as Louisiana's governor on and off for nearly 25 years. BUT his unscrupulous wheelings and dealings took him from the bayou to a prison cell.&lt;/p&gt;

Jermaine Wright served on the Adelanto city council beginning in 2012. BUT when he’s suspected of arson, his political career goes up in smoke. &lt;/p&gt;

<p>Tina’s Story<br>
Jermaine Wright served on the Adelanto city council beginning in 2012. BUT when he’s suspected of arson, his political career goes up in smoke. </p>

<p>Tina’s Story<br>
Jermaine Wright served on the Adelanto city council beginning in 2012. BUT when he’s suspected of arson, his political career goes up in smoke. </p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover former US House Rep from Louisian Bob Livingston and former tax collector Joel Greenberg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
As a US House Rep. Bob Livingston took an understated approach. BUT when he vies for the prominent Speaker of the House position, his undercover exploits come to light. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Joel Greenberg ran as a Trump-like figure who would stop corruption in Seminole County, FL. BUT when he misuses funds for a litany of illicit activities, he’s taxed with corruption and pays a hefty price. &lt;/p&gt;

As a US House Rep. Bob Livingston took an understated approach. BUT when he vies for the prominent Speaker of the House position, his undercover exploits come to light. </p>

<p>Tina’s Story<br>
Joel Greenberg ran as a Trump-like figure who would stop corruption in Seminole County, FL. BUT when he misuses funds for a litany of illicit activities, he’s taxed with corruption and pays a hefty price. </p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon and New York Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Sheila Dixon made history as the first female mayor of Baltimore. But resigns soon after amid bribery charges. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Anthony Seminerio had an illustrious 30 year career in New York politics. BUT that all came crashing down when he got charged with corruption. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover the great molasses flood and former commissioner Jimmy Dimora.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
The Purity Distilling Company facility stored a considerable amount of molasses at the North End of Boston in 1919. BUT faulty storage vats lead to one of the greatest disasters in Boston history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Jimmy Dimora served for decades as a County Commissioner and Chairman of the Democratic Party in Ohio.  BUT when his pay for play schemes are revealed he is sentenced to federal prison in one of the largest corruption cases in Ohio history.&lt;/p&gt;

Jimmy Dimora served for decades as a County Commissioner and Chairman of the Democratic Party in Ohio.  BUT when his pay for play schemes are revealed he is sentenced to federal prison in one of the largest corruption cases in Ohio history.</p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Tina and Hillary  cover the Crystal City, Texas scandal and climate activist Wynn Bruce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Crystal City Texas is a quaint little Texas town with a population of under 7000. BUT when the FBI gets wind of a gambling operation, all bets are off for the town officials.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Climate activist Wynn Bruce sought to raise awareness to the climate crisis via his social media accounts. BUT when he travels to Washington DC, he makes the ultimate sacrifice for the cause. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover the Alien Property Custodian and the State of Texas vs. Melissa Lucio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
The Office of Alien Property Custodian began with the purpose of holding property belonging to enemies of the United States. BUT things go too far when bribes are exchanged for patents and other goods. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Melissa Lucio lost her daughter in 2007 after a tragic accident. BUT despite no evidence to the contrary, the State of Texas sentenced her to death for a murder that never happened. &lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hillary’s Story<br>
The Office of Alien Property Custodian began with the purpose of holding property belonging to enemies of the United States. BUT things go too far when bribes are exchanged for patents and other goods. </p>

<p>Tina’s Story<br>
Melissa Lucio lost her daughter in 2007 after a tragic accident. BUT despite no evidence to the contrary, the State of Texas sentenced her to death for a murder that never happened. </p>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover Operation Greylord and Nevada State Controller Kathy Augustine. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Like most state’s, Illinois’s Cook County’s judicial system covered a myriad of cases from minor infractions to serious felony charges. BUT, when the FBI gets wind that judges and other court officials were on the take, they put forward a decade’s long undercover operation to stop public corruption. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story&lt;br&gt;
Kathy Augustine served as Nevada State senator from 1995-1999 and then went on to be the first female state controller. BUT when she died suddenly in 2006, police suspected foul play.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Hillary and Tina cover former Kentucky House Representative William Preston Taulbee and Pennsylvania State Treasurer Budd Dwyer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tina’s Story:&lt;br&gt;
In 1986, Budd Dwyer found himself mired in a political bribery scandal. His alleged decision to take a 300K kickback mucked up his pristine reputation as Pennsylvania state treasurer. Dwyer professed his innocence and had a loyal following of supporters, but with an upcoming sentencing, Dwyer’s back was up against the wall. Then, he made a fateful decision that shocked Pennsylvania residents and gripped the nation. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s Story:&lt;br&gt;
In 1887, Kentucky House Representative William Preston Taulbee faces major repercussions after local journalist Charles Kincaid exposes Taulbee’s affair with a young, beautiful teenage clerk. With a marriage on the rocks and ruined career, Taulbee terrorizes Kincaid for years, until a fateful encounter on the stairs of a basement restaurant in the Capitol Building.&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Hillary and Tina cover former Kentucky House Representative William Preston Taulbee and Pennsylvania State Treasurer Budd Dwyer.</p>

<p>Tina’s Story:<br>
In 1986, Budd Dwyer found himself mired in a political bribery scandal. His alleged decision to take a 300K kickback mucked up his pristine reputation as Pennsylvania state treasurer. Dwyer professed his innocence and had a loyal following of supporters, but with an upcoming sentencing, Dwyer’s back was up against the wall. Then, he made a fateful decision that shocked Pennsylvania residents and gripped the nation. </p>

<p>Hillary’s Story:<br>
In 1887, Kentucky House Representative William Preston Taulbee faces major repercussions after local journalist Charles Kincaid exposes Taulbee’s affair with a young, beautiful teenage clerk. With a marriage on the rocks and ruined career, Taulbee terrorizes Kincaid for years, until a fateful encounter on the stairs of a basement restaurant in the Capitol Building.</p>
