Corporate Democratic Rep Henry Cuellar and his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign bribes.

Trump just pardoned them.

And Hakeem Jeffries responded by praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” and praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House of Representatives.”

This is what people mean when they say two wings one bird. Smh. Just ridiculous.

And let’s not forget that since Cuellar’s indictment in April 2024, three people have pleaded guilty in connection with the case:

Colin Strother, one of Cuellar’s top former aides;
Florencio Rendon, a Texas political and business consultant; and
Irada Akhoundova, who was director of a Texas affiliate of an Azerbaijan energy company.

He and his wife are guilty, guilty, guilty.

@QasimRashid It’s kind of like when Gavin Newsom praised Chuckie Kirk for advocating theocratic plutocracy and lgbt genocide “the right way.”

At least Chuckles was dead and no longer a real threat at that point.
