Norwegian Filmmaker offers two candidates for Jeff Sessions’ doppelganger. In case, you don’t know, a doppelganger is someone who looks just like you.
NF first suggested this match.
But I proposed this one, and NF agreed with me.

I think this is the biggest Ohio charter fraud case ever. It’s 20 schools in Ohio and it extends to Florida:
“The founder of an Akron-area charter school company is accused of using thousands of dollars parents paid for student lunches and uniforms and millions more from Ohio and Florida taxpayers to fund home mortgages, plastic surgery, extensive world travel, credit card debt and more.
Criminal charges filed last week in Florida against Marcus May also allege he improperly used private and public funds earmarked for students’ education to expand his charter school empire in Columbus, Akron, Cleveland and Dayton.
Florida State Attorney William “Bill” Eddins brought the charges of racketeering and organized fraud against May, the founder of Newpoint Education Partners and Cambridge Education, a Fairlawn company that manages about 20 charter schools in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Akron, Youngstown, Canton and Cleveland.”
They set up LLC’s and ran the funds thru them- they tacked on charges for everything from school lunches to desks to transportation contracts, in two states.
It’s the Beacon Journal. They do most of the investigative reporting on Ohio charters.

The last time I searched ownership of the Akron Beacon Journal, it was owned by a Canadian firm, which explains why the contractor fraud was reported. When and if other Ohio newspapers cover the story, Fordham will be asked for comment and I presume there will be no condemnation of the system that fleeces Ohioans of billions intended for local communities and kids.

Another option: the Keebler elf. Here in Michigan, we refer to Sessions as the “Senator from the Hollow Tree”. OK, I’m the only one who uses that name.

Considering where Sessions is from my vote goes to Norwegian Filmmaker’s comparison.
