I suppose some Democrats commit crimes, too, and if I run across a Democrat crime story, I’ll post about it.
Sam Bankman-Fried might fit in that category, because he donated allegedly embezzled investor money to Democratic campaigns; but he gave just as much OPM (other people’s money) to Republicans, and his motive was to buy influence, not politics.
Case #1: Three members of an armed rightwing militia who plotted to kidnap and possibly murder Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer because they were angry about her Covid-19 policies were sentenced on December 15, 2022, to minimum prison terms ranging from 11 years to 12 years 7 months, the earliest they can be paroled. Two other convicted defendants waiting to be sentenced could get life. Read story here.
Case #2: A Georgia woman was arrested on December 15, 2022, for threatening by phone and text to bomb a building housing a Democratic Party county headquarters. If convicted, she could get 10 years in prison. Read story here.
Case #3: A Georgia Republican just elected to the legislature was arrested on December 15, 2022, for stealing prescription narcotics from an assisted living facility he manages. Read story here.
