Larry Hogan (Never-Trumper, former Maryland governor and current candidate for US Senate) Harbored A Pedophile In His Home, Defended Him After Arrest

When Larry Hogan won his gubernatorial election in the State of Maryland back in 2014, he became just the second Republican Governor to win in the State of Maryland in 50 years. The first governor, who had won election 2002, was Bob Ehrlich, for whom Hogan served as Appointment Secretary. As appointment secretary, Hogan controlled all gubernatorial appointments in the State of Maryland from 2003-2007, creating a tremendous opportunity for Hogan to make political inroads.

Hogan’s election was covered nationally as one of the largest upsets of the 2014 Election cycle, as Hogan defeated Lt. Governor Anthony Brown for the position. What the mainstream media failed to tell you about that election was that Anthony Brown, who currently serves as Maryland’s Attorney general, shares many donors with former Governor Larry Hogan.

For instance, Gary Mangum, who donated over $137,250 to the Republican State Central Committee while Larry Hogan was Governor, and at least $10k to Hogan/s campaigns, also donates to Anthony Brown, Hogan’s opponent in the 2014 Election. We saw this same pattern arise in 2018 when Hogan’s opponent in his re-election bid was a man named Ben Jealous, who received a majority of donations from out-of-state contributors. In both cases, Hogan faced an opponent that he shared connections with, and considering that he was an underdog in both races, and came out victorious in a State as blue as Maryland, Larry Hogan’s political background deserves a thorough investigation…. Especially now.

Heading into the 2024 Election, Larry Hogan is now running for the U.S. Senate. After mulling the possibility of challenging Joe Biden and Donald Trump for the White House in 2024 under a third party ‘No Labels,’ which Hogan helped to create with Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Hogan was reportedly convinced not to run for President by former President Bill Clinton after Hogan attended a Clinton event in Arkansas as a featured guest.

Now a candidate for U.S. Senate, Hogan’s past has come under scrutiny, but not from the mainstream media. A regular guest on news programs on networks like CNN, MSNBC, and local channels like Fox 45, WJZ, and others have yielded no legitimate questions about the nefarious past of the former Governor, and more insidiously, his consistent and prevalent ties to individuals involved in pedophilia. Not only does Larry Hogan have a documented history of associating with individuals charged with pedophilia, but he also has an extensive past of associations with individuals who have died under mysterious circumstances after encountering law enforcement.

Kevin Lee Hall, Hogan Aide Arrested For Kidnapping And Raping A 17-Year-Old Boy At Gunpoint

When Larry Hogan was a candidate for Congress back in 1992, a race that he would eventually lose, he was embroiled in a scandal when Kevin Lee Hall, an admitted family friend and campaign aide who had been living at Larry Hogan’s residence in Upper Marlboro, was arrested for kidnapping and raping a 17-year-old boy at gunpoint. After Hall had been arrested, Ronald Gunzberger, who was serving as Hogan’s campaign manager, and still serves as a senior Hogan advisor to this day, told the Baltimore Sun that Hogan was unsure whether or not Hall would be allowed to continue to live at his residence, admitting that Hall had been a family friend of the Hogans for decades.

Jonathan Newell, Hogan Appointed Judge Raided By FBI Over Pedophilia Charges

Looking beyond Hall, as Governor, Hogan appointed a man named Johnathan Newell as a Caroline County Circuit Court Judge in 2019, a position in which Newell would serve an extensive 15-year-term, that is, until he was placed on leave of absence in 2021 due to a police report that had been filed against him involving two small boys. The parents of these children, whose identities have been concealed due to their age, filed a report with the police after their boys reported that Newell, who had invited the children to his Hooper’s Island cabin for the weekend, had filmed them while they were showering. The children also reported that another grown man, and several other children were at the residence of Newell on the July,22nd 2021, the evening that these events occurred.

Maryland State Police, who we must note, were under the full control of Governor Larry Hogan at the time these events transpired, then began an investigation into Newell, questioning the Judge at his home.

Within their report on the investigation into Newell, the Maryland State Police allege that Newell removed a memory card from the supposed camera, and swallowed it. Authorities then brought Newell for a CT scan, which confirmed that the Judge had swallowed a small metallic card.

As part of their investigation, authorities interviewed several other children that had connections to Newell, and had spent time with the Judge. The horrifying accounts of these children are enough to make anybody sick. The children stated that Newell would often ‘check their bodies for ticks’ while they stayed at his property, having the children undress.

The children also recalled Newell touching their private areas during these ‘checks’. During their search of Newell’s home, authorities also discovered video footage of Newell molesting children dating back to 2014, and also videos of children showering.

After the FBI raided Newell’s home on September 10th, 2021, federal authorities discovered Newell dead, having suffered a reported ‘self-inflicted’ gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at 6:43am. Suddenly, the FBI investigation into the prolific pedophilia of Judge Johnathan Newell was over, and Maryland State Police once again began investigating the apparent suicide of the Judge.

Somehow, and someway, Larry Hogan evaded any negative press for appointing somebody like Newell to such an extremely powerful position. Once again, the media, designated to wage war on corruption, and to expose abuses of power only did as Hogan pleased.

Luis Borunda, Hogan Deputy State Secretary Charged With Distribution Of Child Porn

Just last week, in March of 2024, in the midst of his campaign for U.S. Senate, Luis Borunda, another Hogan associate who served as Deputy State Secretary in the Hogan Administration, was federally indicted on two counts of distribution of child pornography, sexual exploitation of a child, and possession of child pornography.

Borunda was appointed as Deputy State Secretary by Hogan in 2015. He also served as Maryland Economic Development Commission and the Baltimore Board of Education prior to being appointed.

Borunda was busted in a sting operation in which he attempted to meet an underage girl for sex. Borunda was arrested last year in Anne Arundel County during that sting operation. He also unknowingly admitted to authorities during his communications with the sting operations that he had met with 15-year-olds in the past.

Local Maryland outlets have been notably quiet about Hogan’s connection to Borunda, as they were with Newell.

Mathew Palmer, Hogan Deputy Legislative Officer Charged With Distribution Of Child Pornography

Mathew Palmer, another Hogan appointee, was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2021 for distribution of child pornography.

Palmer, 44, of Severna Park, pleaded guilty to distribution in March of 2021. He previously worked as chief operating officer at the Department of Commerce and before that as Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr.’s deputy legislative officer.

He resigned abruptly from state employment in August 2020 and was indicted in January of 2021.

According to federal prosecutors, at least 936 images and 368 videos of child pornography were found on Palmer’s cell phone, including prepubescent minors; child pornography involving toddlers; and child pornography involving bondage and other sadistic acts.

Unfortunately, this is yet another example of the prolific pedophilia surrounding former Governor Larry Hogan.

What does this say about the Governor himself?

Roy McGrath, Hogan Chief Of Staff Who Became FBI Most Wanted, Committed Suicide

We also have Roy McGrath, the former Hogan Chief-of-Staff who was designated as the FBI’s most wanted fugitive in 2023 before dying in a supposed exchange of fire with federal authorities in Tennessee.

McGrath had been indicted for wire fraud, theft and falsifying record, and failed to appear in court on March 13th. This led to a nationwide manhunt, which ended in a Knoxville Tennessee parking lot.

McGrath allegedly shot himself, and then was shot by authorities, an autopsy report claimed. Yet again, another Hogan official who came into trouble with federal law enforcement committed suicide moments before being taken into custody.

We hear an awful lot about the Clinton blood trail, but what we don’t hear about is the Hogan blood trail, a trail that is extremely long, and filled with some of the worst elements of humankind.

Remember, it was Bill Clinton who reportedly convinced Larry Hogan not to run for President in 2024, claiming that Hogan’s entrance into the race would hurt Joe Biden’s chances of defeating Donald Trump.

Heading into the 2024 election, it’s more than crucial that the people of Maryland understand exactly who Larry Hogan is, and if you get your information from the mainstream media, it is unquestionable that you have not been told about some of the most damning facts concerning the character of the man vying to be your next senator.

Hogan is a fat bastard but this article is absurd. The “powerful “ judge sat in a rural county on Maryland’s Eastern Shore where there are literally five lawyers in the entire county. He was the State’s Attorney for that county and one of two Republican lawyers that was qualified to be appointed to the judgeship.
