Sometimes, "stupid" and "criminal" are not the same thing, and that seems to apply here.

But after a legally contentious, 354-day investigation that roiled the New Orleans political world, the agents determined that Cantrell always had enough money on hand to cover her charges. They found no sign of "questionable" deposits. They also concluded that the anonymous complaint about her credit-card usage that sparked the probe was much as she said it was: a campaign-season attack job.
“Undoubtedly, the anonymous source targeted LaToya Cantrell for improper credit card expenditures due to the heightened political atmosphere of the recent mayoral election,” Special Agent John Montalbano said in his final report.

Having enough funds on hand to cover your illegal expenditures is a defense to public corruption???????

People who commit fraud to embezzle money from their employer often have a need. Unpaid debts, drug/gambling habits, too high levels of expense relative to income, etc.
Corruption comes in many forms, but in this case, it's likely her missue of the city credit cards was due to incompetence, not criminal activity.

Phew. I thought the boss was a thief. Knowing she’s just incompetent makes me feel better.
Honestly, she’s much better than I expected. The hiring of an outsider for the head SWB job was great.
