Twenty years? He must have been far beyond your household corrupt politician.

Too many BoomerCons invested in the Team Red / Team Blue BS.

Rather than recognizing the corrupt UniParty for what it is.

That’s why guys like this can carry on for 20 years before there are consequences.

The system is so corrupt, it cannot be repaired.

“Conservatives” are just a label used to access the system that allows one to enrich themselves.

This guy was clearly crooked two decades ago.

But managed to survive to do further corruption.

So, how much is real, and how much is it the Democrat’s desire to stomp their “enemies” with every tool at their disposal?

He has an (R) after his name, therefore the book will be thrown at him.

When has a Democrat ever received the maximum prison sentence allowed under law?

<>Jurors found that Householder . . . participated in a $60 million bribery scheme . . . <>

Twenty years.

Unlike FJB, Householder didn’t sell out Ohio to the Chicoms, Ukrainians, Romanians or anyone else who had the moolah.

“Householder told the judge it was not himself the sentence would hurt but his wife and grandchildren.”

I’m sure there are visiting days.

Householder was about as much of a conservative as Kevin McCarthy is. He went left during his first term in office.

This isn’t about “what about this guy” it’s about this corrupt individual within my State. Biden may or may not get his time. However, his crimes do not excuse or lighten what this scumbag did.

Didn't it occur to this scoundrel that he could have had a happy
life with his wife and grandchildren by playing by the rules?

Here's Roy Roger's take:

Lord, I reckon I'm not much just by myself,
I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.
But Lord, when trails are steep and passes high,
Help me ride it straight the whole way through.

And when in the falling dusk I get that final call,
I do not care how many flowers they send,
Above all else, the happiest trail would be,
For YOU to say to me, "Let's ride, My Friend."

Roy Rogers

Something stinks about this. After the shuffle of CEO’s at FirstEnergy the company Householder was working with illegally. BlackRock inc announced Brian Tierney CEO recently.
