This fucker served two terms in the House, most recently representing the the Houston suburbs from 2013 to 2015. He allegedly made false statements to the FEC and engaging in political contributions illegally routed through so-called conduits.

So now he gets his defense billed to the people he’d been screwing over for years (taxpayers).
