Scum

Ohio sucks.

It's Ohio. Business as usual.

A Republican Top Ohio Lawmaker

I wonder if there's anyone he can flip on?

Is there anything these Republicans haven't done?

OMG....A REPUBLICLAN....NEVER! (Yes, they are a corrupt clan)

Typical Never-Trumper

Why hasn't the feds gone after Rhode Island? The corruption there makes this Ohio stuff look like kids game.

What a surprise, corruption from the GOP, who wouldathunk? WednesdayThoughts

GOP = just the best people.

Say what you want but that man was born to wear those jeans.

Ohio - REPUBLICAN - lawmaker fixed it for you.

Republicans you mean.

He's also a big Trump supporter. Swamp creatures love Trump.

They are loyal party members, William Barr and Donald Trump will make this go away

He has a mask on!!?😂No! Take it off sheeple.

And down goes the JohnKasich cabal. Let's hope he and GovMikeDeWine go with them.

Does anyone wonder how far back this corruption goes

Ever notice that when a government official is arrested, 8 times out of 10, that civic leader is GOP? It's bad enough that GOP policies are designed to steal from the poor to give to the rich. But often, that's not enough... and they personally break the very laws they set up.

Greed

I hope they go to jail for the rest of their lives.

Bet he's a Republican

We put far too much faith in our politicians. The more power and resources one has, the more drawn they are to corruption.
