DOJ expected to announce indictment of Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, sources say

www.nbcnews.com DOJ expected to announce indictment of Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, sources say

Federal authorities searched the congressman's home in Laredo in 2022 as part of an investigation into the country of Azerbaijan and a group of U.S. businessmen.

This is what a DOJ that hasn't been twisted by political bias looks like. It doesn't matter that Cuellar is a Democrat. If he did the crime (and he's innocent until proven guilty), he should do the time.

Republicans: Take note.

Ken Paxton walked with a miniscule fine on his securities fraud charges, so I DONT think repubs will take note

And the irony will be lost on Republicans.

He's not just the only anti-abortion Democrat serving in Congress, but party leadership and power brokers threw all of the influence and money that they could to defeat his challenger from the left during the last primary. He just barely won because they dragged him across the finish line.
FYI this DOJ investigation and plenty more were known when the Democratic party establishment decided to invest all that time and effort into defeating his primary challenger.
It didn't matter that he was a dirty scumbag who was staring down an indictment, he would vote how they wanted him to i.e. fuck the base and big ups the donor class.

It's so great that the party propped up this guy because his primary challenger was a progressive.
