Crappy U.S. Congressman David Rivera in the News. By Geniusofdespair

One of Eye on Miami's favorite whipping boys (and Senator Marco Rubio's BFF/former roommate) Congressman David Rivera, is in the news today. It looks like he is going to sleaze his way out of trouble by a technicality. Too bad. The Miami Herald reported:
"The year-long Miami-Dade state attorney’s office investigation into Congressman David Rivera’s personal and campaign finances has stalled over questions about more than $100,000 in undisclosed campaign donations that appear to fall under a little-known loophole in Florida’s campaign-finance laws.

Rivera collected the money not for a political office but for a campaign he mounted for an obscure, unpaid position within the Republican Party."
But don't despair dear readers, he still might get nailed by a second investigation, as the Herald reported:
"Rivera, a first-term congressman, is also the subject of a second criminal probe by the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service. The two agencies are examining possible tax-evasion questions stemming from $510,000 in undisclosed payments from the former Flagler Dog Track — now known as the Magic City Casino — to Millennium Marketing, a company owned by Rivera’s mother and godmother."
The IRS...that makes me optimistic because they got Al Capone when no one else could.
Note to Rundle and the rest of you: If you can possibly get one damn investigation right this is the one! I will be happier than a pig in shit if anyone can nail U.S. Congressman David Rivera who is a pox on the State of Flori-duh. You people that voted for him are a bunch of assholes (this is me being kind to all of you because it is the holidays). Let me finish with: David Rivera Sucks (so I can put this in my sucks file with the other 38 posts).

Kathy Fernandez can't get anything right. This is going to take the U.S. Attorney's office. Let's hope they get him.

Rundle is up for reelection if she gets this one wrong she has to go and I am a Democrat.

Nothing will happen to David Rivera because his crapola would spill and splatter all over Marco Rubio whose enforcer David was. The Republicans powers-that-be will not allow their golden boy to be tarnished.

C'mon! Rivera is beyond "sucks"... but the people have to regain their sanity and stop re-electing the "STREET WALKER FROM THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE", just like now we have to get rid of the street walker who heads the Florida State Attorney's office! Out with those two $&#@!

Rundle is only willing to vigorously prosecute political corruption cases when the potential defendant is willing to plead guilty.

Grillo got it right, it's all about protecting Rubio, who is tied to many corrupt politicians.

Remember that David Rivera is the same lunatic that ran a mail truck off the road to delay opponents flyers. He should be in jail.

The real solution here is to vote the guy out of office. Continue to humiliate him and educate voters in his district.
Someone should start a facebook page, populate it with all of the articles written about his corrupt practices and spread the word. Write letters to the editor, protest him at his local office, take action to take back the seat from a corrupt politician.

You can't "vote someone out of office" if they can win elections by default using absentee ballots.

Rivera "won" this seat by raking in tens of thousands more absentee ballots than his rival. He lost election day and early voting, but swamped Joe Garcia in magical absentee votes.
