Trump says DOJ indicted Rep. Cuellar over border critiques of Biden: 'Take him out!'
[NYPOST] Former President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
claimed over the weekend that the Justice Department indicted Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar
...Dem representative for Texas' 28th congressional district, serving since 2005. He was a professor at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) in Laredo. He has positioned himself as a strong advocate for education. Prior to being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives he was a member of the Texas House 1987 to 2001....
over his criticism of President Biden’s handling of the ongoing border crisis.

"Biden just Indicted Henry Cuellar because the Respected Democrat Congressman wouldn’t play Crooked Joe’s Open Border game," Trump, 77, asserted on Truth Social Sunday night.

"He was for Border Control, so they said, ’Let’s use the FBI and DOJ to take him out!’ This is the way they operate," the former president claimed.

"They’re a bunch of D.C. Thugs, and at some point they will be paying a very big price for what they have done to our Country. CROOKED JOE BIDEN IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!"

Trump has ramped up his criticisms of the migrant crisis under Biden, 81, as public polling shows illegal immigration is a top concern for American voters in the 2024 election.

Federal prosecutors indicted Cuellar (D-Texas) and his wife, Imelda, in Houston on Friday for allegedly accepting $600,000 in bribes between 2014 and 2021 from Socar, Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil and gas firm, and a Mexican bank.

#3 I don't have a link at the moment, but someone who actually read the indictment pointed out that all the charges were for various forms of influence peddling over the last decade. That raises the trumpian question of "Why now?".
