The founder of a prominent political action committee opposing President Donald Trumps reelection was arrested on Tuesday in part of a public corruption probe. Matthew Borges, a lobbyist and former chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, was arrested in connection to a year-long $60 million federal bribery scheme. According to prosecutors, Borges and three other lobbyists allegedly conspired with the Republican Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives to secure a $1.3 billion taxpayer bailout for an Ohio-based energy company, FirstEnergy Solutions. Law enforcement officials claim that in exchange for helping FirstEnergy receive the bailout, which was meant to prevent the shutdown of two nuclear power plants, a nonprofit controlled by the House Speaker received $60 million.

John Kasich swimming in a cesspool of corruption. I’m pretty sure its his pool too. LOL
Mittens is also swimming in the deep end of that pool corrupt BASTARDS all of them!!
“Bush League” even 15 years later that still makes me laugh.
Are there any mail carriers sons involved in this heist?You can bank on it.
Kasich saw this coming. That's why he jumped to the Dems, hoping they can be bought off with his share of the graft in case they win in Nov. .If they don't he's done for anyway.
America Last scum are rotten to the core.
They are globalist traitors.
They hate Trump because he is America First.
Kasich is a troll.
Hopefully just the first of many Bush League Republicans to be arrested for corruption.I'm thinking Liz Cheney is worth looking into also.
Pro Biden John Kasich is tight with Matt Borges. It was Kasich who picked him as Party Leader, and Trump allies who removed him. I bet if you peel the onion a little more, Kasich, and the other anti-Trump conspirators have their fingers in this mess...
Oh dear! What will Bill Kristol, George Kellyanne Conway and Egg McMuffin say when they find out?
Hmmm.
Good analysis.
"Orange Man Bad." Probably.
Sounds like she has rec’d her marching orders.
[ Founder of Never-Trump Super PAC Arrested in $60M Bribery Scheme ]
The Trump Curse continues.
Thieves and liars. They were directing Republican voters to Biden.
The Super PAC was formed with the intention of identifying GOP voters that backed Trump in 2016, but because of dissatisfaction with the president might be open to voting for Joe Biden in November.
As part of the effort, Axios reported in June the group would highlight Bidens record on free trade, states rights, federal spending, and respecting U.S. diplomatic and military alliances to make the case that most anti-Trump Republicans can feel comfortable supporting him.
Householder is the biggest target, he will have the farthest to fall.
The others are bit players.
What? No three year long threat of an investigation? They just go and make an arrest? He clearly wasnt part of the swamp. Just an ordinary criminal.
We knew that the anti-Trump phonies were psychopathic crooks. Glad one of them got caught!
He worked on McCain’s Presidential campaign in 2008, and Kasich’s Gubernatorial Inauguration in 2011.
