Republican Crooks and Perverts


Recommended Posts

It seems that almost every month another Republican politician or MAGA acolyte at the federal, state or local level gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar or up some poor woman’s skirt without her consent. The list of Republican crooks and perverts is long and updates regularly  so on this thread I’ll try to record of all the new ones going forward 

 

Heres the latest (the religious ones are always the biggest sex fiends):

 

Sister-in-law of former Michigan House Speaker accuses him of raping her for YEARS

By Gina Martinez For Dailymail.Com 02:41 09 Jan 2022, updated 08:11 09 Jan 2022
 

A sister-in-law of Michigan's former House Speaker has been identified as the woman who has accused the Republican lawmaker of raping her for more than a decade - with the sexual abuse starting when she was a 15-year-old student at a Christian academy where he was a teacher. 

Rebekah Chatfield, 26, came forward to detail her ordeal after filing the criminal complaint against Lee Chatfield last month, accusing Michigan's youngest House speaker in more than a century of sexually assaulting her multiple times while she attended Northern Michigan Christian Academy, which was run by his family. 

Lee Chatfield, 33, who was elected in 2014, was the House Speaker in 2019 and 2020 and headed the delegation of seven Michigan GOP leaders who met with then-President Donald Trump at the White House as he tried to overturn Democrat Joe Biden's win in the state.

And for your pleasure reading pleasure here are some from recent months 

 

1) More perverts 

 

GOP operative indicted on child sex trafficking charges

August 13 2021

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Republican political operative has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Minnesota on child sex trafficking charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleges Anton Lazzaro conspired with others to recruit and solicit six people under the age of 18 to engage in commercial sex between May and December of 2020.

Lazzaro is charged with five counts of sex trafficking of minors, one count of attempted sex trafficking of a minor, one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors and three counts of obstruction.

2) More dirty Russian money 

Republican Party operatives charged with arranging illegal Trump campaign contribution

Jan WolfeSeptember 20, 20219:00 PM EDTLast 

WASHINGTON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Monday unsealed criminal charges against two longtime Republican Party operatives, accusing them of illegally funneling a foreign campaign contribution to former President Donald Trump in 2016.

According to an indictment unsealed in federal court in the District of Columbia, Jesse Benton and Doug Wead "conspired to illegally funnel thousands of dollars of foreign money from a Russian foreign national into an election for the Office of President of the United States of America."

U.S. law bans foreign nationals from donating money to presidential campaigns.  

According to the indictment, Benton and Wead helped a Russian national get a ticket to a fundraiser with Trump in Pennsylvania in September 2016.

The Russian, who was not identified in the indictment, donated $25,000 to political action committees associated with Trump in order to attend the event, according to prosecutors.

3). Just the latest Republican crooks:

Republican congressman faces multiple federal criminal charges

Unlike the last two members of Congress charged by the Justice Department, Nebraska's Jeff Fortenberry probably won't get a presidential pardon.

By Steve Benen
Oct. 20, 2021, 8:00 AM EDT

Over the last five years, only two sitting members of Congress faced federal criminal charges: In August 2018, Republican Rep. Chris Collins of New York was arrested for alleged insider trading, and soon after, Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter of California was accused by federal prosecutors of having stolen more than a quarter million dollars from his campaign coffers.

Both initially claimed they were victims of political persecution; both later resigned in disgrace; both were sentenced to prison; and both received pardons from Donald Trump.

Yesterday, the list grew a little longer when Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska was charged with lying to the FBI about contributions to his 2016 re-election campaign from a foreign billionaire.

Another Republican peach in recent headlines:

 

Former Forsyth Republican leader charged with stealing from church, threatening family

Oct 13, 2021

 

Nathan Tabor, a former chairman of the Forsyth County Republican Party who unsuccessfully ran for Congress, is in the Brunswick County jail, accused of stealing motor-vehicle parts and cyberstalking, among numerous other felony and misdemeanor offenses.

Those charges include allegations that he made threats against his mother-in-law and other family members in Catawba County in an attempt to get more than $200,000 and that he harassed his pastor in Forsyth County, accusing the pastor of embezzling money from the church and making sexually-explicit comments to both the pastor and his wife. The pastor filed for a restraining order against Tabor in August.

 

He was arrested in Brunswick County earlier this month on charges that he stole catalytic converters from a church, a Habitat for Humanity Restore and from two different people, according to arrest warrants. He is in the Brunswick County Jail on a $75,000 secured bond, according to online jail records.

And his estranged wife has filed for temporary custody of their daughter, alleging in court papers that Tabor is addicted to drugs and has been emotionally and mentally abusive to their daughter. According to court papers, Tabor sent an email to their 16-year-old daughter, implying that she would burn in hell…..

Another corrupt Republican crook gets indicted:

 

Former Alabama sheriff indicted on ethics charges, tax evasion

The former Clarke County sheriff who resigned last year following the launch of impeachment proceedings against him by the Alabama Attorney General has now been indicted on criminal charges.

William “Ray” Norris, who served as Clarke County sheriff from 2011 until his resignation in 2021, is charged with unlawful use of campaign contributions, violating the Fair Campaign Practice Act, use of office for personal gain, violating the Statement of Economic Interest disclosure requirements and income tax evasion, Attorney General Steve Marshall said Friday.

…Among the allegations against Norris is that he used his public office or official position to obtain personal gain for himself or a family member through the acceptance of thousands of dollars of payments from a business owned by an individual who received approximately $139,462.00 in payments from the Clarke County Sheriff’s Office between August 2018 and August 2019.

If convicted, Norris faces a maximum penalty of two to 20 years for the alleged ethics violation and each count of the unlawful use of campaign contributions, which are class B felonies.

But hey...it was worth a try eh?

Every Republican crook and pervert Ive mentioned in this thread  has been criminally charged in just the last few months  You’re lucky I decided August 2021 was far enough because plenty more came up from earlier in the year and pretty much every  year prior  Well to be fair the perv in the first post is still under criminal investigation but charges are expected to be forthcoming shortly  

 

MEANWHILE None of the people you mention have been charged with anything and mostly you’re just recycling more bullshit conspiracy theories and baseless allegations in a desperate attempt to equivocate your nonsense with Republicans actually getting arrested

Oh I forgot this guy!

Oklahoma Republican Leader Indicted for Allegedly Misusing Power to Benefit His Wife

State Rep. Terry O’Donnell is accused of pushing through a bill allowing legislators’ wives to become state tag agents, soon after which his wife was appointed as one

 

State Rep. Terry O’Donnell faces five felony and three misdemeanor chargeswhile his wife, Teresa, faces three felonies and one misdemeanor charge, The Oklahoman reported late Friday. According to the AP, the most serious charge is conspiracy against the state, which comes with a maximum punishment of 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.

O’Donnell introduced a bill in 2019 to allow wives of legislators to become tag agents. In Oklahoma, tag agents are independent operators of agencies that provide government services such as driver’s licenses, vehicle registrations, title transfers, and notary services. Tag agents receive government subsidies to run their businesses, which are often found in rural areas that may not have easy access to high-speed internet, or a Department of Motor Vehicles.

Just three months after the bill was signed into law, Teresa was appointed to take over the Catoosa Tag Agency, which her mother, Georgia McAfee, had run for more than four decades. Although Teresa had worked at her mother’s tag agency, according to the grand jury indictment, she lied on an application submitted to the Oklahoma Tax Commission stating she managed daily office operations and oversaw four clerks. In reality, the grand jury said it found, she only worked there part-time. The application additionally said commissioners could speak with Teresa O’Donnell’s supervisor, McAfee, about her job experience. But by then, the grand jury indictment said, McAfee was in hospice and was only semi-conscious from time to time, rendering her incapable of answering questions.

Not only did the bill allow O’Donnell’s wife to become tag agent, it also increased the prices that tag agencies could charge for a number of services. The grand jury alleged O’Donnell included that provision in the legislation “knowing full well that he had a personal or private interest in both the present operation of the [tag agency] by his mother-in-law … and by his wife … and therefore he had an additional personal or private interest in promoting and obtaining such a change of law.”…

And while the charges filed against this Republican - one of the highest ranking Republicans in the state - are not for being a crook or a pervert , he’s obviously unstable and unfit for office 

 

House Republican Leadership in Flux After Harassment Charges Filed Against Leader

December 21, 2021

 

The Maryland House Republican Caucus is in flux ahead of a leadership election, mere days after harassment charges were levied against House Minority Leader Jason C. Buckel (R-Allegany) in relation to his pending divorce.…

Last week, a Maryland State Police trooper filed an application for a statement of charges in Allegany County District Court against Buckel for harassment. The complaint details more than three dozen messages the man said Buckel sent him through Facebook Messenger, most of which he characterized as threatening in nature.

The court records indicate the trooper had a relationship with Buckel’s estranged wife, which prompted an angry response including threats of physical harm from the lawmaker  

 

On one occasion, the trooper alleges that Buckel sent more than a half-dozen messages in the 3 a.m. hour on Sept. 26, threatening to take his job and pension and to “destroy” and “bury” him. Other messages included threats of harm from Buckel’s supporters….

Here’s another recent  Republican sexual predator  I missed. Simply too many Republican criminals and perverts to keep track of .  And I’ve only been limiting this to the past few months. This Republican rapist actually went on the lam and became a fugitive!

 

Former Idaho rep. Aaron von Ehlinger arrested in Georgia

Monday, September 27th 2021
 

Former Idaho representative Aaron von Ehlinger was arrested in Georgia on his outstanding warrant for rape and sexual penetration with a foreign object, the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office confirms.

Ehlinger's warrant was issued more than two weeks ago. He was arrested in Georgia on the charge of being a fugitive from justice, and bail has not been set for him.

Really a former rep of some sort, you say.

Well thanks for that cracker-jack on the spot reporting, Beave.

I guess you missed this one:

and this one:

This is the most interesting one.

If not for the money raised by him and Fang Fang would Swalwell even have a political career?

Does anyone really know where it all came from? The answer is 'no'. 

He seems to owe a lot to the Chinese. He's like a Biden in that regard.

1) There's a big difference between an indictment and a conviction. The Russian collusion witch hunt is a perfect example of an indictment that was more of a crime than the false charges that were trumped up against the defendant. (How did Tha Don not see that coming? Him and Lou Gehrig....)

2) The FBI has been exposed as a banana republic operation that targets conservatives (even soccer moms) and lets Dems walk. Hillary and Biden are perfect examples of people who are known to have committed serious malfeasance yet have never been charged with anything. Indictments, or a lack thereof, are no indicator of anything.

So desperate and pathetic you’ve had toresort to dragging CNN employees into this when I’ve clearly keep the focus just on Republican officials. What can’t even find any comparable Democrats recently?  You really want to expand this to mews outlets given the sexual predator snake-pit we all know Fox News is?  The network had to pay millions in settlements just to the victims of OReilly and Ailes for covering up their sex crimes.  

And then you resort to peddling conspiracy theories, Funny you must mean Epstein’s  Trump connected sex crimes

Here’s another one from Q4 2021, rigging elections and cheating on taxes, two favourite Republican pastimes (when vulnerable women aren’t around anyway)

 

Indiana casino exec and former Republican lawmaker faces new tax fraud charges
 

A federal grand jury slapped an Indiana casino executive with additional charges Tuesday for his alleged role in a schemeto funnel casino cash into an ex-state senator's failed campaign for Congress. 
 

John Keeler was already facing four federal charges for allegedly working with out-of-state political consultants to recruit straw donors when the new charges were unveiled this week. Those straw donors funded former state Republican Sen. Brent Waltz's congressional campaign in 2015. They were then reimbursed with funds from Keeler's casino company New Centaur LLC, according to federal prosecutors….

OMG, you just found your next Russian collusion hoax to get sucked into! YAYYY!

While it might be comforting to think that people like Hillary Clinton are evolved from reptiles, so they don't share any of our DNA, there are millions of people like her. That's why, even with 2.1M people in US prisons, the streets are still chock full of drug dealers, rapists, Liberals and Democrats.

Bill Clinton is the (D)OG.

It's so sad that at the very pinnacle of the DNC dogpile you still find the Clinton family, AOC, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Swalwell, etc. If you turned on the news and saw that those people were busted for taking part in a human sacrifice, the only surprising part would be that it made the news.

You 2 still got nothing but stale and baseless accusations from years ago that are mostly made-up innuendo Republican lies.

Meanwhile I’m serving up FRESH AND RECENT reports of REAL Republicans ACTUALLY getting arrested  

 

Here’s another, hot off the press, a mayor  with a track record of violent thuggery:

 

Tallassee mayor arrested on domestic violence charge

In August of 2021, Hammock announced his candidacy for the Alabama Public Service Commission as a Republican.

John H. Glenn2 days ago

The mayor of Tallassee was arrested Saturday in Orange Beach and later charged with felony first-degree domestic violence.
 

….On the night of Aug. 19, 2020., a week before he was elected to his second term as Mayor, Hammock turned himself into the Elmore County Jail and was later charged with a misdemeanor harassment charge after a road-rage incident on July. 5, 2020. Hammock, allegedly armed with a pistol, threatened to arrest a 21-year-old Tallassee resident who had cut Hammock’s wife off in traffic earlier that day, according to The Montgomery Advertiser.

Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller’s political consultant indicted on charges of theft, bribery in hemp license scheme

 

Sneha DeyJan. 18, 2022

 

 

Todd Smith, a top political consultant to Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, was indicted Tuesday on felony charges of theft and commercial bribery related to taking money in exchange for state hemp licenses that are doled out through Miller’s office, according to Travis County district attorney José Garza.

Smith was arrested in May, accused of taking $55,000 as part of the scheme, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Smith and others were accused of soliciting up to $150,000 to get an “exclusive” hemp license from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Smith allegedly said $25,000 would be used for a public poll on hemp. A hemp license from the state costs $100, according to the arrest warrant.

And here’s another:  okay he committed  his crimes in 2020 and he’s only in the news now because he’s going to trial  There are SO MANY REPUBLICAN CRIMINALS you guys have a right to complain that it’s unfair for me to include him on this thread. It’s unsporting isn’t it?

 I should probably just stick to newly discovered Republican crooks and perverts just to save the forum servers   

 

Ex-Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Pastor on trial ahead: 'My mother didn’t raise a hoe'

Pastor was arrested Nov. 10, 2020, while still on council, on charges of bribery, money laundering, attempted extortion and conspiracy in a pay-to-play scheme.

Federal prosecutors accuse Pastor of leading what authorities describe as a brazen bribery scheme involving payoffs for help with city development projects.

They allege Pastor, a Republican who joined council in January 2018, began soliciting money from developers within months of taking office and, in some instances, accepted bags of cash in return for his vote or other favorable treatment…..

There’s even a meth-head stalker who likes to masturbate in bushes wearing a wig. And he was the CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE PARTY. You can’t make a this stuff up people. I guess in a way they are a “big tent party”  (small tent in the pants I bet) ?

 

Former Idaho GOP chairman arrested for meth use

Aug 19, 2021
 

BOISE — Jonathan Parker, the former chairman of the Idaho Republican Party, who was arrested for stalking in 2019, was arrested again on Wednesday for using methamphetamine, a violation of his probation.

Parker, 42, served jail time in 2019 after he was convicted of first-degree stalking and unlawful entry. He was sentenced to 14 days in jail and five years of probation after the 2019 arrest, which stemmed from two separate incidents.
 

….The 2019 first-degree stalking conviction stems from an incident in which police found Parker hiding in the bushes outside his now ex-wife’s apartment, wearing a wig and masturbating. Prosecutors at the time said he went to her home twice.

 

The unlawful entry conviction is tied to an April 2019 incident when Parker entered the home of a female colleague in Meridian without her permission.
