Democratic US Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife are indicted over ties to Azerbaijan
From 2014 to 2021, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan-controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico.
The payments to the couple went through a Texas-based shell company owned by Imelda Cuellar and two of the couple’s children, according to the indictment. That company received payments from the Azerbaijan energy company of $25,000 per month under a “sham contract,” purportedly in exchange for unspecified strategic consulting and advising services.
Sounds like bribery to me.
Even if it was consulting, why would you, as a US Representative, be able to consult for a foreign country?
So glad the Democratic establishment threw their weight behind Cuellar instead of Jessica Cisneros. 🙄

And literally a month or so before RvW got over turned. Pelosi personally went and campaigned for him in his primary. He won by somewhere within a single percentage point if I recall correctly.
He's one of the few openly anti-choice democrats left.
Something else to note is that Hakeem Jeffries was Pelosi's acolyte who she helped take her place. So when people were talking about him being a "new generation" you know it's bullshit. He's there to stop party reform to the left/center, same as Pelosi was.
Blue no matter who!!!
You mean the guy who got raided by the FBI AND THEN STILL GOT SUPPORT FROM NANCY PELOSI??!
His primary opponent supported the nightmare scenario of raising the minimum wage.
I knew I remembered his name.
Nail their asses to the wall. We don’t need grifters in office. We need serious leaders.
Take that shit to the other party. You'd fit right in Henry.
The problem here is they didn’t bribe all the Congressmen. You gotta do that to get your agenda passed. They get jealous otherwise. Talk to AIPAC for tips, then try again.
Well this isn't a surprise for anybody that knows anything about him. He's always been a piece of crap.
He’s on my ‘who? Oh yeah, that asshole’ list.
Good. Your political affiliation means nothing. Stop breaking the law assholes.
They are probably good friends of the Menendezes.
