Looks like the DOJ got tired of going after soccer moms and now actually going after criminals.
You leftist are stupid!
Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth), the 82-year-old president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate, was indicted and surrendered to federal authorities on October 22, 2026, on charges of running a criminal marijuana distribution enterprise, money laundering, fraud, and bribery.
Key Details of the Case
• The Charges: Lucas and six co-defendants—including her two daughters (Lisa Lucas Burke and Theresa Lucas Lamb) and a grandson (Ryan Eichelberger)—were indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.
• The Allegations: According to the U.S. Department of Justice Announcement, federal prosecutors accuse Lucas of using her position as Chairwoman of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to protect a family-run illegal marijuana operation ("the Lucas Enterprise") from scrutiny and influence legislation for financial gain.
• The Timeline: The unsealed indictment alleges the illegal activity dates back to at least 2019. The investigation previously led to FBI raids on Lucas's office in Portsmouth and an associated cannabis shop in May 2026.
• Defense Response: Federal officials, including Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, stated that the charges are non-political and rooted in a long-running corruption probe. Lucas previously dismissed earlier spring investigative actions as political intimidation.Department of Justice (.gov)
