https://www.pilotonline.com/news/crime/vp-nw-rob-catron-indictment-20210627-w5t5zbs5qnakfdekkecsykvypy-story.htmlA former political consultant for ex-U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor this week became the latest member of the one-term congressmans staff to be indicted on election fraud charges.
Robert J. Rob Catron was indicted Monday by a Virginia Beach grand jury on 10 counts of making false statements and election fraud, according to online court records. The crime is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The indictments were first reported by WAVY-TV.
Catron is the fourth person associated with Taylors 2018 campaign to be indicted.
The other three Heather Guillot, Lauren Creekmore Peabody and Roberta Marciano also were charged with felony election fraud, but reached deals with prosecutors that allowed them to plead to a single misdemeanor instead.
Catron, who now works for a lobbying firm in Arlington, declined to comment when reached Saturday. His attorney, James Broccoletti, could not be reached. Catron first began working with Taylor in 2013, when he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.

Would this Taylor scum bag belong to the GQP, the party of cheaters, thieves, liars and traitors?

Because that's mostly ALL the GQP stands for now-a-days.
Most lie as easily as they breathe 😑
