| Description | Two longtime top political advisers to U.S. Rep. Bob Brady were charged Tuesday by a federal grand jury with taking part in a scheme to disguise a $90,000 payment to a challenger to Brady in the 2012 primary as part of a secret plan to pay the rival to drop out of the race.
Charged were consultant Kenneth Smukler, 57, a gregarious politico and communications specialist; and Donald “D.A.” Jones, 62, a more low-key technocrat who is an expert in get-out-the vote tactics.
The pair are the latest targets in a federal probe that in recent months has netted guilty pleas from the 2012 challenger, former Philadelphia Judge Jimmie Moore, and from Moore’s former campaign manager, Carolyn Cavaness. |
