Today’s Conservative Barf Bag Award goes to Republican Stewart Rosenwasser.
From NBC News
The FBI had arrived at the home of Stewart Rosenwasser to take him into custody Tuesday morning, the day a federal indictment was unsealed alleging that he accepted at least $63,000 in bribe payments while he was chief counsel to the Orange County District Attorney's Office and executive assistant district attorney. Rosenwasser was indicted on charges of bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, honest services wire fraud, extortion under color of official right and making false statements.

From The New York Times
Early one morning in September 2024, two teams of F.B.I. agents descended simultaneously on a pair of homes in Orange County, New York. The agents arrived to serve arrest warrants on Mout’z Soudani, 76, a local real estate investor, and Stewart Rosenwasser, 72, a prominent former judge and recently retired county prosecutor. The two were accused in a conspiracy case.
[…]
At the center of the controversy is Mr. Soudani’s 65-year-old sister, Eman. In a lawsuit filed in federal court in November 2023, she claimed that her brother raped, beat and controlled her for 45 years. Her suit, and a counterclaim by her brother, uncovered bank and phone records documenting a scheme in which Mr. Rosenwasser used his power as a high-ranking prosecutor to travel 1,800 miles outside his jurisdiction to personally ensure the arrest of Ms. Soudani — based on her brother’s claim that she had stolen half a million dollars from him — and return her to her brother’s control. In exchange, the F.B.I. says, Mr. Soudani paid the prosecutor approximately $63,000.

Rosenwasser killed himself rather than allow the FBI to arrest him.
Never ever underestimate the malignance of conservatives.
