Here it comes! Federal officials arrested Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four others on Tuesday morning in connection with a $60 million bribery
case. #ButNothingsHappening marionstar.com/story/news/202…
Also arrested were several powerful lobbyist including the former chair of the Ohio Republican Party.
Sounds a lot like Madigan in Illinois!
I wonder who in GW Bush's DOJ protected Householder when FBI investigated him in 2004-2006?
All the Ohio papers are now picking it up!

Found some good background info on Larry Householder.

Apparently when Householder ran for speaker this time, he only got a minority of Republican votes but got as many Democrat votes as he got from the Republicans. The combined total gave him the gavel.
Householder tried to destroy then Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell to help Householder defeat him to get the position of State Auditor.

Just the job you would want a corrupt politician filling...
Apparently a 2017 Ohio Inspector General report found corruption & fraud in the Ohio Penal Industry system. Including making furniture for Householder's house office.

Guess someone wanted to protect their graft in the budget...

Before his first downfall from the State House, Householder crafted a legal provision that allowed Les Wexner (friend of Epstein) to be reappointed to the board of The Ohio State University by Wexner's other friend Governor Taft. columbusmonthly.com/news/20180924/…
The former Ohio Republican Party chief was Kasich's hand picked guy...

Wonder why Kasich endorsed Biden this week?
Looks like the bribes were about bailouts for 2 Ohio nuclear power plants! From completely different power companies than the ones bribing Madigan in last week's indictment!

I'm betting the FBI's investigations of shell companies & money laundering lead to these dark money groups that pushed the bailout of nuclear plants.
Just like in the Madigan's case, the power company got a bailout by raising customer's billing rates!
Govt. regulation=Corruption
Looks like the last Ohio Speaker left under criminal investigation too...
Link to the indictment is up!

DOJ press conference: Generation Now Householders shell company paid to support 21 Ohio candidates in the 2018 election! abc6onyourside.com/news/local/ohi…
After the bill was passed, an effort was taken to drive a referendum to reverse HB6. First Energy then paid millions more (above the $61M) to fund bribes to keep the referendum from passing.

Householder only personally got about $1M of the $61M+ as it was doled out to others.
DOJ says they have not explored much of the evidence yet because they wanted to keep it secret until they made the arrests. Today FBI started going after all the evidence that will help them unravel this further to all the players!
US Attorney says that they have millions of pages of bank records & other documents yet to go through!

They have the #Receipts!
Generation Now was known to be shady all along. Including connections to an attorney for Kentucky Republicans.

Also found a connection to Gov. DeWine's campaign & FirstEnergy CEO. daytondailynews.com/news/local/big…
