Didn't see this yet. If I had to guess why the FBI would raid the home of a corporate Democrat, I would guess corruption. We'll see. It's a good thing Dems don't run progressives in those areas, otherwise they'd be in trouble.


(CNN)The Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement Wednesday evening that it is doing a "court-authorized" search of the Texas home of Rep. Henry Cuellar, a moderate Democrat.
The FBI also searched a second building housing his campaign office, CNN has learned.
"The FBI was present in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate Drive in Laredo conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity," a spokesperson for the FBI said in a statement. "The FBI cannot provide further comment on an ongoing investigation."
The Department of Justice's Public Integrity unit is involved in the investigation, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. The public integrity section handles cases involving elected officials, including campaign finance and other investigations.
A spokesperson for Cuellar told CNN that "Congressman Cuellar will fully cooperate in any investigation. He is committed to ensuring that justice and the law are upheld."

If he broke the law, I hope they nail him.

Keep up the good work FBI.

What is a "coorporate" Democrat?

Are their coorporate republicans?

Are their non-coorporate democrats?

Since political bribery is legal in the US, it's possible he went outside even those egregiously corrupt lines.

What is a "coorporate" Democrat?

Someone who is legally bribed by corporate money to enact and protect a corporate agenda, rather than those of the voters.

Are their coorporate republicans?

They're just called Republicans.


Are their non-coorporate democrats?

Yes, they're called Justice Democrats.
 
I may be wrong, but wasn't he named by the lady in Texas that was exposed by Project Veritas and arrested for buying votes?

Like I said I may be wrong on that, so don't take it to the bank.

Like I said. I hope he burns if the courts prove its true.

Ahh. Thank you.

So which member of congress has not accepted coorporate money?
 
But the DOJ and the FBI are totally partisan, amirite?

There are some RWNJ sources that are already framing this as retaliation against Cuellar because of ... things. 🤣
 
My understanding, based on anonymous but highly reliable sources, is that this issue had nothing to do with Cuellar directly and, instead, was due to the discovery that Donald Trump planted fake evidence at his residence.

There is insufficient information to make any kind of conclusions.. yet. All we know is that the FBI had gotten information they find important enough to raid a sitting congressman. Since it is also his campaign office, I suspect it would have to deo with campaign finances.

The keg was never returned………….

We also know that Cuellar has been critical of the Biden admin border policy so, in an effort to get the SOB back in line, it makes sense that an FBI raid would be warranted.

So? What does that have to do with anything what so ever?

Justice Democrats, specifically. They reject corporate donations.

He's saying that there are no corrupt politicians (e.g. Trump, possibly Cuellar), just politicians looking to settle political scores. In other words, he operates under the assumption that the government is a tool for political retribution, since that's would do in a similar situation.

It's a pretty cynical way to view the foundations of modern society, but here we are.
 
Speculation coming out that this may have to do with campaign finance laws - his home is also his campaign office, but no confirmation being right now. FBI tight-lipped

CORRECTION - they also "hit" a second building that was his campaign office, sorry about that

That pretty much nails my interpretation!

Awe look you are playing victim again.....

Poor Rep. Henry Cuellar he made the mistake to criticize Biden for the mess he has created and allowed at our Southern border.
So now the FBI comes for a visit. We know how the democrats have turned federal law enforcement into a tool to go after political
foes. Very soon we will see a breaking news story from CNN showing a early morning raid of Rep. Henry Cuellar's, home live on CNN! Do not cross Biden!

And other than pure bipartian hackery, what evidence do you have of this? It's not like the Biden administration is the Trump one.

That's cute. If true wouldn't Moscow Mitch by in Gitmo now?

Odd that he has gone after Biden and now the FBI is knocking at his door?
What did the Obama IRS do to conservatives?
What did the Obama DOJ/FBI do with the phony Russian collusion? Start with lying to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court?

Make a person think........

Correlation does not equal causation.

DO you have any actual evidence beside the standard conspiracy technqiues? Yes, or no.

Yup, if democrats break law, they are forced to resign. Liberal don't defend them. Don't make excuses, defenses, because we aren't complete party line hacks

Meanwhile, pedophiles and rapists of underaged girls get defended by republicans base

Anyway, its complete garbage that politicians can be bought and paid for, and worse, it can even be foreign money. And they don't have to disclosure. Thanks to the corrupt scotus
