Rep. Henry Cuellar Indicted on Bribery Charges

It's officially been announced:

The Department of Justice has indicted Democratic Reo. Henry Cuellar of Texas on bribery charges.

Cuellar's wife has also been indicted in the same case, according to the DOJ, which said the charges encompass:

Two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal, five years in prison on each count; two counts of bribery of a federal official, 15 years in prison on each count; two counts of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, 20 years in prison on each count; two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal, two years in prison on each count; one count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, 20 years in prison; and five counts of money laundering, 20 years in prison on each count.

Cuellar is under investigation for allegedly accepting almost $600,000 in bribes from an energy company in Azerbaijan.

America's government is supposed to work for the people, not the other way around.

Cuellar isn't the first Democrat to get that wrong.
