Herschal Walker Facing Wire Fraud Charges


Last year Herschel Walker lost his bid for the Georgia Senate [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Herschel is being investigated for wire fraud in connection with his campaign...

From Vanity Fair  

His Senate campaign is dead, but Herschel Walker is still producing scandals. The latest bombshell came courtesy of the Daily Beast—as most have—which reported Wednesday that Walker, a former NFL running back who lost to Democrat Raphael Warnock in last year’s Georgia Senate race, padded his personal company with $535,200 in political contributions. The money was sent by billionaire Dennis Washington, a friend of Walker’s who reportedly assumed the funds were intended for Walker’s Senate bid.
Instead, according to the Daily Beast, the cash was deposited into an account for HR Talent, LLC, a firm owned by Walker that he never disclosed in financial statements. In doing so, according to experts who spoke to the Daily Beast, Walker may have committed wire fraud—via distorting the purpose of the payment—or violated a Federal Elections Commission rule that bars federal candidates from soliciting donations outside of the contribution limits (the donation limit for a Senate candidate was set at $2,900 per individual in 2022). “Even if the money wasn’t spent in the election, Walker would have broken the law when he directed this donor to give money above contribution limits in connection with the election,” Paul S. Ryan, a campaign finance expert, told the Daily Beast.

I thought we were done with this fool after he lost the election. But I shouldn't be shocked that a werewolf is breaking the law.

He must have forgot was black, all that backslapping and good ole boyin' he doing got him thinking he's part of the club and not just a token black face that will parrot all the right words and actions looking for a pat on the head that the club is using to control the politics and the money of a blue collar area with a black population sizable enough to it needs to be patronized.
