Trump II pardoned Rep. Henry Cuellar prior to his scheduled trial in April 2026. The "Just Us" Department previously reported:
....beginning in at least December 2014 and continuing through at least November 2021, Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City.
The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts.
In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan.
In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank.
Front companies, shell companies, no work contracts...this is the way politically connected people get paid outrageous sums for multiple jobs, most of which sound full time.
It's what supported Jeffrey Epstein and his child predation ring for several decades.
Once the raccoon sobered up from his liquor store drunken rampage he asked his public defender to approach the White House for a pardon or at least a cleaner bathroom in which to crash in his drunken stupor. "Just not the East Wing!"
