Conservative TreeHouse:
Political leaders, specifically mayors in Baltimore Maryland, are predisposed toward corrupt behavior. Remember Sheila Dixon in ’08, or Stephanie Rawlings Blake in ’15… It’s a perpetual cycle. I digress…
Into the corrupt landscape comes Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who was arrested in 2019 for taking bribes and payoffs through a pay-to-play bribery scandal for books she “authored” called “Healthy Holly”. Want a city contract?…. buy her books, easy peasy. MORE
So…less than Roger Stone?
Mayor Puke, former that is.
—Can you smell the rats, Catherine?—

1 Down. How many thousand more?
Gee Wally, looks like the Church of the Holy Hoosegow finally got the right Pugh…
Maryland was also the State that gave us Spiro Agnew.
Ah yes… Agnew the Spirocheat
A conservative would have got 10 or more.
I believe it was Lord Acton who said, “power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” However, someone else wrote, “power corrupts, and power often attracts the corruptible.” It seems that the power in the political world provides a strong attraction.

This was broadcast by Steve Ash at local radio station 100.7 The Bay when this story first broke.
A mayor isn’t high enough on the command chain to get away with it. she shoulda kept it low key till she reached something in the Federal level of it.
In Baltimore it’s figured that 20% of the black womens’ vote now chooses the mayor due to abysmally low voter turnouts of the 70% black population.
Pugh loved to feud with D. Trump and I have a feeling
that with the criminal pols being tried in friendly
local courts never being punished; the President
told the Feds to go get her. Three Years in a Federal
Pen!! The city’s Dem political, thieving scum will be looking over their shoulders now!
Yes, this Pug should have gotten more.
And hillary clinton and obama still slither around free?
“Pugh’s attorney, Steve Silverman, called the sentence fair, and said he thinks the former mayor ultimately won’t serve more than 18 months in prison under the new First Step Act, which seeks to reduce the federal prison population.”
I don’t believe President Trump ever intended for members of the swamp to benefit from this.
