Founder of Never-Trump Super PAC Arrested in $60M Bribery Scheme

Founder of Never-Trump Super PAC Arrested in $60M Bribery Scheme. Partners with Scaramucci. Ha ha ha!

Matthew Borges, a lobbyist and former chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, was arrested in connection to a year-long $60 million federal bribery scheme. According to prosecutors, Borges and three other lobbyists allegedly conspired with the Republican Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives to secure a $1.3 billion taxpayer bailout for an Ohio-based energy company, FirstEnergy Solutions.

Law enforcement officials claim that in exchange for helping FirstEnergy receive the bailout, which was meant to prevent the shutdown of two nuclear power plants, a nonprofit controlled by the House Speaker received $60 million.

  • Caught with their hands in the cookie jar and skimming off the cream too. Good, that communal shower experience will be an adventure for them.

    • You know every one of these Never-Trumpers are the dregs of the republican party and they are all dirty? Shit the leader was going to take money from Russia? and George Conway is nothing more than an unemployed loser who is making money off the Lincoln Project, they don't give a shit, they just want the bucks, anyway they can get them, and it appears they are getting caught doing illegal shit. And I read where at least two of the shitbirds running this thing are delinquent on their own homes property tax, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars...what a bunch of idiots..
