Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic leader behind the state’s redistricting effort, was arrested Thursday in connection with an alleged bribery and racketeering scheme.
In a 45-page indictment filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, Lucas and six co-defendants were charged with conspiring to distribute and possess marijuana, conspiring to launder money, laundering money, and committing bribery by distributing large quantities of illegal marijuana under the auspices of her legal medical cannabis business.
Lucas, an 82-year-old great-grandmother, has served in the Virginia Senate since 1992. She faces five of the eight charges included in the indictment. These charges arrive five months after the FBI raided Lucas’s office in Portsmouth, Virginia, and the neighboring cannabis dispensary she co-owns.
More fascist BS.
It’s not like the German people or a German resistance stopped him. It took several foreign armies, millions of deaths and a devastated continent. US still can do better.
Yeah, it’ll take a few more foreign armies and at least 2-3 times more deaths. /s
Seriously though, we are protesting; it’s just not getting out there. Given we’re not France protesting…
I mean the US was burning, defacing and generally destroying Teslas for a bit. That’s at least a little bit Parisian.
