ChiGoose Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 DOJ expected to announce indictment of Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, sources say "WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is expected to announce the indictment of longtime Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, on Friday, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. Cuellar’s home and campaign office in Laredo, Texas, were raided in January 2022 as part of a federal investigation into Azerbaijan and a group of U.S. businessmen who have ties to the country, law enforcement said at the time. His office had pledged to cooperate with the investigation. In April, Cuellar's lawyer, Joshua Berman, told some news outlets that federal authorities informed him he was not the target of the investigation. Cuellar is a one-time co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus. It wasn't immediately clear if the indictment was related to the 2022 raid. The Justice Department declined to comment. NBC News has reached out to Cuellar and a lawyer representing him for comment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hmmm. Cuellar was one of the few Democrats to openly criticize Joe Biden over the border crisis, and narrowly held off a progressive challenger in 2022 over it. One has to wonder whether that's just coincidental to any indictment that the DoJ produces, especially in this administration. -- Ed Morrissey https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/05/03/breaking-doj-to-indict-rep-cuellar-on-campaign-finance-chjarges-n3787711 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe that? Do you honestly believe that the DoJ is in the pocket of the Dems and is charging Dems solely on the basis of their views of Joe Biden? Is that something you actually believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
