They would find bigger fish....
Now if the would do the same with US Congress......
“In a surpirse move, all the indictees suddenly changed their name to “Hillary Clinton”, and launched a bid for the Presidency...”
Henry B. Gonzales Democrats doing what they do best.
Dem town in South Texas? I’d have been more surprised if they weren’t highly corrupt.
Is this Richard Durbin, Jr. the son of Dick Durbin, RAT of Illinois?
Huh?
I can READILY understand Mr. Ngoc as an operator of illegal gamling rooms but the nickname of "Mr. T."????
Hahahahahaha!
"mister t" would be a more fitting name.
let the state handle this, I do believe the treason statute is still effect, if it isn’t, it should be.
a fair trial then hang the SOB’s.
Good old Crystal City!
I remember back in the 60’s when the people of mexican heritage took LBJ’s suggestion to vote en masse and threw out the entire city council and political structure that were white in one big election.
A few years later they begged the original members of the ousted government to come back since corruption was so rampant and incompetence run amuck and they did come back to save the city.
Fast forward: Today the city is run like those in Mexico and the morals are the same. No wonder out of control corruption has been discovered. It’s the Mexico way!
Elect Mexican politicians and you get Mexican government.
Add this article to your file “MEDIA BIAS” and use it in future posts, articles, discussions. I suggested that those of you who are interested in “media bias” create a “library” of articles that show different types of “bias” from “incompetence”, “ignorance of a subject/history”, political bias, ideological bias, and deliberate bias (deliberately providing misleading information or disinformation to further their own bias and agenda).
After a couple of weeks, you should have at least 10 good examples to show to people to back up your contention that a lot of the mainstream media and even local media is for crap.
Again?
Crystal City & Carrizo Springs have stuff like this going on every decade or so. They’re probably just the ones we hear about.
San Antonio has a few, too. We’re about due for another one. Unless everybody’s gotten so used to it, they barely notice anymore.
”Almost every top official in a remote South Texas city was arrested Thursday under a detailed federal [emphasis added] indictment that accuses them of taking bribes from contractors and sending city workers to help an illegal gambling operator nicknamed ”Mr. T.””
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
There is not enough information given in referenced article to be sure about the following possible constitutional problem.
Since this is not a voting rights issue, if the federal indictments are not based on federal laws reasonably based on one of the clauses in Congresss constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, regulating INTRAstate gambling not one of those powers, then the mixed-up feds have no constitutional authority to hand indictments to anybody for the reasons indicated imo.
What am I overlooking?
How is this any different than what happened with the Clinton Foundation?
I know, rhetorical question.
