He's been accused of violating a prohibition on members of Congress from acting as an agent of a foreign principal.

I always knew he was a Republican.

Also, this shouldn’t be a surprise since he was indicted in 2015 also on federal corruption charges where the jury was unable to reach a verdict.

They need to get it right this time because dipshit is certainly a dumb fuck corrupt cuck.

No, he's not a Republican. He's a Democrat. We need to be able to call a spade a spade without getting into knots to "other" it or reclassify it to fit a preconceived narrative. Democrats are just as capable of corruption as Republicans.

Yes, except the difference is the Dems generally hold their own accountable. See Al Franken or Gov. Cuomo

It is just a different kind of corruption. No one expects the county Republican party to hand out free turkeys for Thanksgiving.

How is he a Republican exactly? Can you explain? Because the article says he’s a democrat- and any info on him agrees with this.
