Former U.S. Representative Stephen E. Stockman, 61, was convicted by a federal jury in Houston on April 12, of 23 counts of mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to make conduit contributions and false statements to the Federal Election Commission, making false statements to the Federal Election Commission, making excessive coordinated campaign contributions, money laundering, and filing a false tax return.
I tried to find out - is he Dem or Repub?
Since it doesn’t say in the headline, I am assuming he is a DEM?
wikipedia says he was an (R)
Oh. Thanks.
Based on this outcome, just imagine the sentence the Klintons would get if someone finally took their crimes seriously.

He’s an (R) and was my Congress critter for a few years here in Texas.
References to “Freedom House” led me to suspect Republican affiliation.
So was he framed or did he really do these bad things?
One has to ask in this day and time.
He was one of the bright GOP stars from 1994, knocking off 42-year Dem incumbent Jack Brooks. He couldn’t hold the seat and lost after a single term. Made a comeback in 2012 in a newly-created district. Made an ill-advised attempt to take out Sen. John Cornyn in 2014, and that ended his career.
If this business is all true, it’s a damn shame. But it’s peanuts compared to Democrat corruption that remarkably never seems to be investigated, especially Hillary’s.
THANKS!
I’d say “Trump should pardon him just to piss people off” but he seems like a genuine sleaze.
I give no shiites about “campaign finance” or “tax evasion” but fake charities? That’s naughty.

You find crooks on both sides, always have and always will. However the difference being is that more often than not you will find more crooks amongst the socialists. That’s the reason one of the Freepers surmised him to be a socialist, unfortunately it happened to be a misguided crooked republican.
But the difference between the Republican’s and Dem’s in this case, even though there are many more, Republican’s aren’t circling the wagons trying to convince the people that this guy is really nice, he didn’t mean to do it, it was all a mistake, he should be given a second chance, it was an accident, it was nothing more than a clerical error.

Because Rs are so honest? :)
They ALL use OUR money like gift cards and I’ve lost count of Ds and Rs who have been indicted over the years.
A TRUE Conservative is the only type of politician that can be mostly counted on to do the right thing.
He will have conservative values which is why I say a TRUE conservative.

It’s usually an amount like 1 million or 1.5 million.
I’ve never seen such detail in the fine :)
Sounds like he thought the Seinfeld episode with George Costanza's "Human Fund" was a how-to.
Yeah, he did it. He is real sleazy.
