"A senior policy fellow for Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.) has pleaded guilty to defrauding the government and private lenders of nearly $822,000 by using aliases to obtain student loans and more than 90 credit cards," Politico reports. "Ernest B. Moore, who went by Bernard Moore and Bernard Glenn-Moore on Capitol Hill, had a penchant for putting together events with marquee names -- and a special legislative interest in sentencing issues and measures like the 'Second Chance Act,' which is designed to help nonviolent offenders reabsorb into society. 'Who knew that he was writing that bill for himself?' quipped a former congressional aide who knows Moore."
