Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and wife indicted on bribery and foreign influence charges

DOJ charges that the Democratic congressman used his office to influence U.S. policy for Azerbaijan. He and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, are also accused of money laundering.

The Cuellars allegedly accepted roughly $600,000 in bribes from the two foreign entities in exchange for the congressman performing official acts, according to the indictment.

The fact his wife is Imelda is a funny coincidence

Ooch. Looks like a great cell mate for Mendendez.

I had a nickel for every time a moderate Hispanic Democratic congressman was indicted on foreign bribery charges, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
