Henry Cuellar launched House re-election bid as Democrat days after Trump pardoned him over bribery charges

Days after issuing him a pardon, Donald Trump criticized US House member Henry Cuellar of Texas for deciding to run for re-election as a Democrat.

Trump pardoned Cuellar and the congressman’s wife on Wednesday as they faced bribery charges. They were alleged to have accepted thousands of dollars from Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank in exchange for advancing their interests.

Shortly after the pardon, Cuellar filed for re-election as a Democrat and said he had no intention of changing his party.

    Impeachable offense # 472628846272632. Abuse of power.

    It’s so much fucking fun watching shit happen daily that would have fox news frothing at the mouth and having every Republican forming committee investigations if it were a Democrat that did it…

    Instead we have the Party of no Law and disorder Order acting as if it’s all totally cool.
