  Could have just said political donor...the GOP portion is easily inferred.
context: Prosecutors claim Lazzaro lured five victims for sex and attempted to lure a sixth between May and December 2020. Lazzaro has been in custody since federal authorities arrested him at his Minneapolis apartment in August 2021. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors, aiding and abetting sex trafficking of a minor and related obstruction charges.
  Lazzaro’s co-defendant Gisela Casto Medina, the former University of St. Thomas College Republicans chair accused of assisting Lazzaro in recruiting minors for sex, is scheduled for a change of plea hearing Monday, Dec. 19, at the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis.
  
  Classy stuff here from someone who was looking for a future in the GOP >
  
  Gotta hand it to the two of them, with Epstein and Maxwell out of the picture there was vacuum ready to be filled. >
  
  
  Federal authorities continue to hold Lazzaro’s 2010 Ferrari convertible, which prosecutors claim he used to pick up a victim. The government seized the vehicle in August 2021.
  The car is one of several assets federal agents seized, including gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. Authorities have since returned the cash and precious metals, which they seized in a December 2020 search warrant. 
  
  How did none of the cash and gold get seized through civil forfeiture? They’ve taken much less for things that didn’t even turn out to be crimes. >
  
  Let's hope every cent eventually gets given to the victims of these disgusting criminal actors through civil court proceedings. >
  
  I'm sure qAnon is hard at work looking into Lazzaro's connections to former MN GOP chair Jennifer Carnahan and her husband the late Jim Hagedorn /s >
  
  Oh, Anton Lazzaro, you lunkhead! >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)
