Corrupt GOP hotshot is brazen even in Court. Larry Householder is as he always is

Title-Householder asks judge to dismiss public corruption case against him

snip-"Former Speaker of the Ohio House Larry Householder asked a federal judge to toss out a case against him that prosecutors have called the largest probe of public corruption in state history."

snip-"In June 2020, federal prosecutors accused Householder of accepting $60 million from FirstEnergy, through a web of nonprofits he secretly controlled, to ensure the passage of House Bill 6.

The legislation provided FirstEnergy ratepayer funded bailouts for nuclear plants owned at the time by a company subsidiary, ratepayer-funded protections against drops in energy revenues, and a host of other provisions favorable to the company. It was worth an estimated $1.3 billion to FirstEnergy.

Householder, a political adviser, and three lobbyists were accused of using the money to elect a slate of candidates who elected Householder as speaker; to engineer passage of the bill; and for personal enrichment."

It seems he's nothing but a 'placeholder' for a new crime-scheme Tee-Vee show.

Also, I couldn't get to your 'more at source' as my adblocker Detects his Radioactivity and then blocks all those super-Beta particles. He (householder?) doesn't Radiate much honesty and he appears to be monetarily Contaminated which makes me Curie(ous). Maybe he should learn to play Half-Life instead of Geiger-Counting his Atomic($$) Numbers.
