The legal problems of defeated Miami Rep. David Rivera are mounting as federal prosecutors have charged the sham Democratic primary candidate Justin Lamar Sternad with violations of campaign finance laws and conspiracy.
“Conspiracy” is the key word;
co-conspirators have not yet been named, but all signs point to Rivera.
Sternad, a political nobody, ran a
campaign that attempted to weaken fellow Democratic candidate Joe Garcia, who
went on to win the nomination and defeat Rivera. Sternad’s campaign featured numerous targeted
mailings against Garcia and reported few contributions. Campaign vendors told local media on the
record that they received cash payments that came from Rivera, whose passion
for democracy in Cuba seems matched only by his contempt for our own.
