‘You are the best El Jefe!’: Henry Cuellar’s Alleged Brazen Foreign Bribery Schemes

Several powerful foreign players and other Texans in Cuellar’s sphere are allegedly implicated in the scheme based on details provided about individuals in the indictment. The list includes Suleymanov, who was in close communication with Cuellar on policy matters while the congressman was allegedly receiving bribes from the nation’s oil company, SOCAR. (Two of Cuellar’s longtime Texas political allies have already pleaded guilty; no one else has been charged.)

Thanks Pelosi for steadfastly supporting one of her own in Cuellar, ensuring the progressive Cisneros was kept out at any cost. Bravo, master legislator.
