Not that I like the guy or anything like that but don't you think there should be a trial first?

Just don't talk with them. Any mistake and they'll charge you with lying to them (this seems politically motivated).

"Scheming to falsify material facts"? Is that really a federal crime? If so, half the leadership in the FBI should be in jail for the faked dossier they presented to undermine the Trump administration.

Of course it is politically motivated. What is not? I believe this guy stuck up for Trump once. That is all it takes.

The GOP is rotten to the core

Of COURSE they jump on illegal foreign "campaign contributions".

When you ask yourself, who falls for the Nigerian prince scams.....


I bring you.....Jeff Fortenberry

Because he literally lied about receiving and then attempted to cover up foreign donations from a Nigerian billionaire.

He's the opposite. Fortenberry is the type of GOP legislator that Nigerian Princes BUY
