A federal judge refuses to dismiss the campaign finance violation case against indicted Rep. Duncan Hunter. Attorneys for the California GOP lawmaker argue the case against their client is politically motivated

In San Diego federal court, US District Judge Thomas J. Whelan rejected arguments from Hunter's attorneys that the case was politically motivated because two assistant US attorneys attended a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton and later brought the case against Hunter, who was one of the first congressmen to endorse then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Hunter's lawyers have sought to get the case dismissed because two assistant US attorneys involved in investigating Hunter attended a Clinton fundraiser in La Jolla in August of 2015 and took a picture with the Democratic candidate, according to correspondence with the Secret Service that was obtained by Hunter's defense team through a Freedom of Information Act request.

As usual Republican cry foul , are they all that wimpy starting with Trump ?

mommamia1217 He is in POLITICS and not doing adds for dairy farmers so I guess it is politically motivated.

All of the GOP is a vast criminal enterprise. All crooks, all nefarious agendas & all treasonous liars. His shyster lawyers are the same as him. Politically motivated my ass. RuleOfLaw motivated more like it. Then again, the GOP considers themselves above the law.

Using campaign funds to bang chicks who aren’t your wife was politically motivated

Every time the GOP gets called out cheating, lying and stealing they squeal that it’s politically motivated...just like their leader the Lyin’ King.

Good; the smug rethug sounds just like trump. Blames everyone but himself.

I liked the GOP when they stood for law and order. The GOP morphing into the Party of Trump (PoT) is sickening. Time to get off the PoT, folks...

What about Democrats who have similar blunders.

They (Rep), get breaks at every turn!!! 😡😡

This crook has an excellent resume for the the tRump WH.

He threw his wife under the bus.
