The FBI is accusing Texas Democrats of using cocaine to buy votes and it’s all coming out in court.

Political chicanery and vote-buying in Texas are as old as the state itself, and the latest episode to come to light features purchasing votes with cocaine, marijuana, money, cigarettes and beer, an on-going FBI investigationhas uncovered.

Two political operatives of a Hidalgo County Commissioner’s campaign manager were charged on Thursday with vote-buying before U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Ormsby, The Monitor reported.

The arrests are the latest twist in an 18-month investigation focusing on the 2012 primary election for County Commissioner.

One has to be doing a lot of cocaine to vote for a commie lib DemocRAT so I can understand why the ‘RATS are doing this.

What? Eric the Red Holder says TX doesn’t need picture ID because their is no voter fraud. What a maroon. The Democrats have always bought votes in TX. LBJ used to bribe the Mexicans in San Antonio with free Lone Star long necks and tamales.

Another one of “Texas’ Hidden Secrets!” My guess is that the RAT Counties down along the Rio Grande are real “beehives” of illegal political activity along with (of course, who could forget) Travis County, that political pustule that encapsulates Austin.

Wrong. This is new. When the Dems steal elections in November, people will question the results. They will point to this as evidence they were hard at work to ensure fair and legal results and the unexpected Dem takeover was, in fact, legitimate.

Rogue FBI agents? Surely, the DOJ and it’s leader will get the perps off so they may continue their illegal actions.

Was this was Cruz was alluding to in that thread yesterday?

Cruz pointed to the repeated refusals by Holder to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate shady campaign finance dealings related to the Obama Administration and other Democrat lawmakers as a possible cause for impeachment.
