Democrats in Washington, D.C., like to rail against corruption. But when one of their own is caught, the silence is deafening.
That silence has never been more apparent than in the case of Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, a career politician whose family has dominated South Texas politics since the 1980s.
In 2024, federal prosecutors indicted Cuellar for taking more than $600,000 in bribes from a Mexican bank and Azerbaijan’s state oil company.

His wife, Imelda, personally pocketed more than $100,000 in consulting fees linked to the same scheme.
For years, foreign money quietly flowed into the Cuellars’ bank accounts while they claimed to represent American voters.
The scandal widens with campaign finance. Records show Cuellar’s campaign pulled in more than $110,000 through ActBlue, the Democrats’ online fundraising platform.
That would not be unusual—except that ActBlue is now under investigation for enabling foreign contributions.
A congressional probe found nearly 2,000 suspect transactions, many routed through foreign servers or prepaid cards.
More than 200 were traced directly to international networks. Yet Democrats have refused to distance themselves from the platform.
Then came the election fiasco. In Cuellar’s 2024 race, Republican challenger Jay Furman submitted 80 sworn affidavits from voters who said his name was missing from their ballots.
A judge ordered a forensic review of the election. Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina blocked the review—before later announcing his own run for Congress.
When the referee becomes a player, voters know the system is broken.
The Cuellar dynasty has also turned public offices into personal assets.
Sheriff Martin Cuellar allegedly diverted deputies from their law enforcement duties to campaign for his brother.
Another sibling, Rosie Cuellar, was awarded a municipal judgeship in a town with no courtroom, no docket, and no cases. She collected a taxpayer-funded salary for a position that existed only on paper.
Despite this mountain of corruption, Cuellar held onto his seat in a district Donald Trump won by seven points. Democrats and most of the media dismissed concerns as “conspiracy theories.”
But voters saw a clear picture: a political family gaming the system with help from friendly judges, foreign donors, and party insiders.
The Cuellars have run South Texas politics like a private business since 1987.
When bribery, fake judgeships, and ignored court orders keep a congressman in office, it proves the problem is not just one man. It is a political system designed to protect Democrats in power, no matter how much corruption piles up.
