The nation’s state-run oil company hired David Rivera’s consulting firm for $50 million to influence members of Congress and the White House.


A federal jury convicted former Representative David Rivera of Florida on Friday, finding him guilty of conspiracy and five other crimes for secretly lobbying officials in Washington on behalf of the Venezuelan government in 2017 and 2018.

Prosecutors presented evidence during the five-week trial in Miami showing that Venezuela’s state-run oil company had secretly hired Mr. Rivera’s consulting firm for $50 million to lobby members of Congress and the White House for a thaw in U.S.-Venezuela relations.

The revelation ran contrary to how Mr. Rivera, a Republican, had portrayed himself in public. He made a political career, first as a state lawmaker and later as a congressman, as a strident anti-Communist. Mr. Rivera served in Congress from 2011 to 2013


Not only did he take from from Venezuela, he so without registering as a foreign agent. Making money secretly. What piece of work.

That's awful!

Did they get their moneys worth?

Did he influence anyone to help Venezuela?

Who?
 
LOL....The OP came to the wrong shop looking for right-leaners to blindly support some Cuban crook just because he had an R out from his name at one time.

I hope he needs a U-Haul to tote his prison time.

Glad the Trump admin was able to secure a conviction for this Meduro spy.

Here's another example:
Nancy Mace (R.) really lowering the boom on Cory Mills (R.) for stolen valor and other unseemly stuff.
I think Mace may have a shot at being President someday. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat.

 
He got his day in court and was found guilty that’s the way the system is supposed to work. Sadly far to many today only feel this way when the person convicted is someone who they don’t agree with politically.

And it was in a FL court too! Now do just as good of a job at sentencing.
