14. Cuellar still under indictment for BRIBERY

Henry Cuellar's Texas indictment for bribery is still active. He and his wife were indicted in May 2024 on charges of bribery, money laundering, and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, according to the Department of Justice. The trial is scheduled to take place in federal court in Houston. While the initial trial date was in July 2024, it was delayed until after the election in November 2024. The trial is now set to begin in the spring of 2025.

The wider the margin by which it passes, the greater the "Mandate" that the fools claim dickthegrouch Jun 2025 #4

Have you not been watching Republicans? They will claim they have a mandate even if it doesn't pass. W_HAMILTON Jun 2025 #8

Unless a better Democrat wins the primary. And this is information to consider during the primaries. Scrivener7 Jun 2025 #7

These Democrats have been winning their primaries. W_HAMILTON Jun 2025 #9
