The guy that started the harassment campaign against Judge Engeron’s clerk:
“The saga of former President Donald Trump’s first gag order began with a social media post by an account called “JudicialProtest.” “Why is Judge Engoron’s Principal Law Clerk, Allison R. Greenfield, palling around with Chuck Schumer?” @JudicialProtest wrote on Sept. 27, 2023, showing the clerk and the Senate Majority Leader posing for a picture. An investigation by the Messenger has found that 40-year-old Wisconsin resident Brock Fredin — the man behind the @JudicialProtest account on X, the website formerly known as Twitter — has a prolific history of civil and criminal litigation over his harassment of women that echoes his attacks on Greenfield. Fredin has been hit with 50-year restraining orders barring him from contacting three women, and he has been criminally convicted multiple times for violating two of those orders. He is currently under criminal investigation for more suspected restraining order violations and possible stalking.” https://themessenger.com/politics/the-story-behind-trumps-gag-order-involves-a-man-under-criminal-investigation-for-stalking |

Michael Cassidy, who ran for Congress as a Republican last year, was charged with vandalizing a Satanic Temple display at the Iowa State Capitol. DeSantis is contributing to the guy's legal defense fund because of course he is.

Aww. Turns out they don’t want “religious freedom” so much as they want “state established religion.” |

In 2015 not yet Rep James Comer's college girlfriend came forward accusing Comer of domestic violence. He also became enraged when they went to an abortion clinic together and she named him as the person who would drive her home after the procedure. This was once a local issue, but I'd love to see the explanation.

“A year after being charged with working as an unofficial agent for the Venezuelan government, former Congressman David Rivera is now accused of failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in income — and diverting some of that money through a political campaign account to himself, according to an amended federal indictment.
The new indictment accuses Rivera, a Miami Republican who served in Congress a decade ago, of three tax crimes. It includes submitting a false corporate return for his consulting firm in 2017 and attempting to evade taxes on his personal return the following year. https://news.yahoo.com/feds-charge-ex-miami-congressman-120000924.html |

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charging "Lansing powerbrokers" Anne and Rob Minard for embezzling from "numerous" political fundraising funds "to financially enrich themselves not permitted" under state law.
Nessel alleges they embezzled $525,000 from 2018-2020 while holding taxpayer-funded jobs with the House Republicans under then-Speaker Lee Chatfield. Nessel said the alleged embezzlement by Rob and Anne Minard was discovered while the AG's was investigating ex-House Speaker Lee Chatfield, after the Michigan State Police referred an investigation that began as a sexual abuse claim by Chatfield's sister-in-law. "We're nearing an end point" of the Chatfield probe. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2023/12/21/lee-chatfield-dana-nessel-embezzlement-campaign-fundraising-lansing-powerbrokers-rob-anne-minard/71990180007/ |

Wow, bad week for former Republican Michigan House Speakers, as both Lee Chatfield and Jason Wentworth have serious problems.
“Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office is now investigating a $25 million, no-bid grant awarded to a former legislative aide to ex-House Speaker Jason Wentworth, a state health department official confirmed Tuesday. As first reported by Bridge Michigan, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General began investigating a grant to build a Clare health campus in March because of possible double payments involving a nonprofit led by David Coker, the former aide.” https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-attorney-general-investigating-25m-grant-ex-house-speakers-aide |

Suarez also seems to have been working for Saudi Arabia as an unregistered foreign agent. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article282921853.html |
