Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife were indicted Friday on charges of conspiracy and accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from foreign entities, the Justice Department announced.
Prosecutors allege Cuellar and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, began accepting the roughly $600,000 in bribes beginning as early as December of 2014 from an oil and gas company owned by Azerbaijan's government as well as a bank headquartered in Mexico City.
While Cuellar's wife allegedly propped up sham front companies on the promise of providing consulting services to the two companies in order to launder the payments, she "performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts" all while Rep. Cuellar was promising to use his office for the benefit of Azerbaijan's foreign policy as well as influencing "high-ranking" officials in the executive branch to benefit the Mexico City bank, according to the indictment.

I’ve wondered how these politicians who make 300k/year leave office with millions and millions. I guess I now now, they are corrupt.
Cuellar did not give 10% to the “big guy”?
Even Bernie Sanders is a corrupt BASS TURD!!
Re-write this article substituting “Ukraine” for Azerbaijan, “Senator Joe Biden” for Cuellar and “Hunter Biden” for Cuellar’s wife.
Then, leaving the “Ukraine” substitution insert Pelosi and son, and Romney and son.
FYI
Many of them are corrupt, I think, but I believe most of the money comes from insider trading, since they all have insider knowledge of regulations and govt contracts.
Funny how congress always makes themselves exempt from laws that may stop or slow down the gravy train.
“WASHINGTON — A newly formed group of House Democrats is seeking to shift the party’s positioning on immigration to the center and address a major vulnerability for President Joe Biden that could shape his prospects for re-election this fall.
The “Democrats for Border Security” task force is co-chaired by Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, who represents a border district...”
Not saying that Cuellar *isn’t* a corrupt crook — after all most congress-critters are — but I do wonder if his stance against Barack Hussein Biden’s open border policy might have put him in the DOJ hot seat. They don’t “do” many DemonRats that way, after all.
So why isn’t Biden getting the same treatment?
About time this stuff happens.
Yeah, I was just thinking he had to have done something to anger somebody high in the administration. Democrats are never prosecuted.
A good guess.
The Big Guy missed out on his cut in Azerbaijan.
They’re clearly copying the Clinton crime cartel.
Don’t forget the Clinton crime cartel.
Good. Except, why is the DOJ going after one of their own?
Believe me nothing will come of this…bank i! I’m still waiting on the DC SWAMP POS RAT Melendez and his wife to be thrown in jail…ZIPPO justice!!
You hit the nail on the head.
Deep State is sending a message to anyone getting cold feet.
