Guilty on 23 Felonies
Former two term East Texas Republican congressman Steve Stockman just received some pretty bad news.
A federal jury in Houston found him guilty of 23 felonies.
Steve Stockman, a Republican former congressman from Texas, has been convicted of defrauding two conservative mega-donors and funneling their $1.25 million into personal and campaign expenses as part of what prosecutors have described as a “white collar crime spree.”
Stockman is a far rightwing nut case. I wrote about him pretty damn often, as you can see here. I also had some fun when the fire marshall shut down Stockman’s campaign headquarters as “unsafe for human habitation.”
I’m sorry y’all aren’t getting this hot off the presses, but I had to sober up first.
They marched his prissy butt off to the pokey while he awaits sentencing in August. They decided he’s a flight risk.
Okay, back to celebrating!
