Milwaukee officials face Zuckerberg-related election bribery lawsuit
[JUSTTHENEWS] Three Milwaukee, Wisconsin, officials face accusations of illegally taking "Zuck Bucks" to facilitate voting by purchasing absentee ballot drop boxes, among other things, according to a lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Society.

The complaint, filed last week against Milwaukee Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson, former Mayor Tom Barrett, and City Clerk Jim Owczarski, claims the officials violated Wisconsin's election bribery law by taking private donations from the non-profit Center for Tech and Civic Life, which is funded by billionaire Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg
...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates....
and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

"This is representative of a national trend," Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal said in a blurb. "Sixteen states have now passed legislation to ban or regulate the acceptance and use of private funds by public election officers. Thomas More Society attorneys, prior to the 2020 election, were the first to litigate this issue. Thomas More Society lawyers filed litigation in nine states. "All of this litigation led to successful legislative action to ban this 'dark money.'"

Former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
called Zuckerberg "a criminal" last year for reportedly spending hundreds of millions of dollars through the Center for Tech and Civic Life in the 2020 election.

The Thomas More Society has filed five lawsuits in Wisconsin. The Milwaukee follows cases in Racine, Green Bay, Kenosha and Madison, all of which asserted that officials violated election law by accepting money from the Zuckerberg-funded election group.

"We can’t undo the wrongs of the 2020 election," Kaardal said. "But it is incumbent upon us to ensure that the corruption that infected Wisconsin’s voting process is rooted out and that the state’s election integrity is preserved."

So will the LSD's offer them up as SACRIFICIAL LAMBS, or just use an already bought and paid-for DA/Judge to clear them?

#2 So, why not go after Zuckerburg rather than these low-level rogues?
