Pffft... a Sister Souljah arrest, nothing more.

Throwing one of their own under the bus for theatrical purposes . . . just as the Chinese Communists will sometimes stand a minor party official before a firing squad.

Super sacrificial as he is a former Rep., not a sitting Rep.🙂

“Great name by the way”

I thought so, too. Amazing that nobody grabbed that before!

It’s a recent term. I wish we could change names. I am much more a national populist than a conservative these days.

He's a Dem. This is California. The FBI arrested him. Politico reported it! There has to be a catch.

They're probably trying to show us they're not all biased thugs to target conservatives. Lucky for them the biased liberal press will buy the line.

When they don’t mention party, he’s a Democrat.

FBI brass is probably trying to show us they're not all biased thugs targeting conservatives. Lucky for them the biased liberal press will buy their bullshift. The FBI needs to stay out of politics and stop being so gullible when democrat elites ask 'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?'.

they’re trying to appear “neutral?”

My first thought as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TJ_Cox

(Please give us some money. Wikipedia needs money. {NO!})

Terrance John Cox[1] (born July 18, 1963) is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative for California’s 21st congressional district from 2019 to 2021. The son of Chinese American and Filipino American parents, Cox was elected to the House of Representatives in 2018. A member of the Democratic Party, he was defeated in his 2020 rematch with Republican David Valadao. {Nyah Nyah}

In August 2022, Cox was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, one count of financial institution fraud, and one count of campaign contribution fraud.[2]

Only way they will appear neutral is to arrest Hillary and Hunter. They let that ship sail.

Yeah that poor sap wouldn’t have been arrested without the panty raid.

Also the punishment for failing to defeat a Trumpista and keep control of his district.

Cox is the snowflake on the tip of the iceberg of Rat crimes.

But the fibs will probably stop with this token arrest just to show how "non-partisan" they are.

Yeh. Expendable third-rate failed politician for a sacrificial pig. Just like that two-bit lawyer Klinesmith they slapped on the wrist for the fake FISA documents.

YOU have managed to capture the absolute solution:

Arrest Hillary and Hunter.

Integrity Restored.
