Former Rep Steve Stockman arrested

[Bern]

Stockman was a guy who was supported by liberty peeps IIRC.


Former Congressman Steve Stockman Friday blamed a "deep state" shadow government conspiracy for his arrest on federal charges, saying he is innocent of allegations he conspired to divert charitable contributions to his political campaign and personal use.

The controversial Republican politician - who twice served in the U.S. House before losing a 2014 bid for the U.S. Senate against incumbent John Cornyn – appeared Friday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Smith, just hours after the criminal complaint against him was unsealed.

In addition to the allegation he illegally diverted charitable funds, Stockman is charged with making false statements in reporting campaign contributions in an effort to hide the sources of the cash.

What do you know, another anti-establishment politician finds himself arrested and prosecuted. The show trial is on, now all they need is a public execution.

The corporate media will perp walk him for the next few days and associate him with every liberty idea and candidate, Trump, Nixon, and, of course, the Nazis.

Well, it is true, that libertarians hate poor people.

I think that is a general stereo type that is not so . I imagine most libertarians to be around median income people who have no desire to pay for other peoples stuff .
