The Democrat Party is about to get slapped with another massive stain.
Former Rep. TJ Cox (D-CA) has been indicted.
Cox is staring down the barrel of 28 counts, 15 of which are fraud-related.
Worst Timing
Democrats have the news cycle right now.
The media is pushing the narrative that recent legislation is a big win for the American people and this administration.
The FBI raided Donald Trump, with the DOJ pushing the Espionage Act as the reason behind the raid.
For headline clickers, this is golden for Democrats.
Well, Cox just put up a speed bump.
Cox has been indicted on 15 counts of fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, one count each of financial institution fraud, and campaign contribution fraud.
Cox had quite the scam going, targeting companies he was already affiliated with to set up bogus bank accounts and diverting funds “through false representations, pretenses and promises.”
Between 2013 and 2020, Cox built up a reported nest egg of about $1.7 million.
Cox also devised a scheme to pay out family members from campaign funds.
We have seen this going on for decades, such as Joe Biden paying his sister and brother when he started out as a Senator.
How about Maxine Waters paying her daughter more than $1 million in campaign funds since she started in Congress?
If Cox is convicted, he could do decades in jail and fines totaling roughly $1.5 million.
