Maybe FR needs a daily corruption thread that posts articles about that day’s arrest or indictment of Democrat party politicians and their supporters.

For instance, besides the Sen Lucas indictment, there is this:

DOJ’s Fraud Division, Department of Agriculture, and USDA OIG Uncover Nearly $42M in SNAP Benefit Fraud in Nationwide Enforcement Surge Involving Suspected Illegal Aliens

For those real conservatives who refuse to support CNN by visiting its website, here is a more honest, more conservative source for similar information:

Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas indicted?

We know her.....she’s the “tolerant and compassionate” type.

She’s noted for her “concerns for her fellow man” and hoped to make a buck on it.

Just like our good “friend” Mark Warner, the “moderate.”

George Will once said, “Mark Warner is described as a moderate, which mean he puts on a pouty face before he votes to protect and fund abortion.”

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Powerful Virginia Democrat state Sen. Louise Lucas has been ARRESTED and charged with running a marijuana trafficking and money laundering enterprise, per the DOJ

This is the same woman who led Virginia Democrats’ gerrymandering push to redraw the maps in their favor. Now she's in handcuffs!

Six others were charged with her, several of them her own relatives 🤯

Holy SMOKES!

She surrendered this morning. The charges include racketeering, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute marijuana and gun possession

She allegedly used her Senate seat to shield the operation. On a wiretapped call, she said: “I've gotten too old to not be greedy.”

LAW AND ORDER.

Snatch that wig off of that gangsta bitch for her mugshot.

Yep, she was behind a 420 fest a few years back, a sketchy ghetto production.
