Trump Delegate Indicted On Child Pornography, Explosives, Machine Gun Charges

Source: Huffington Post

A Donald Trump delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention has been indicted in Maryland on federal charges that include using a minor to make child pornography, illegal possession of a machine gun and illegal transport of explosives.

Caleb Andrew Bailey, 30, from Waldorf, Maryland, was indicted late Wednesday, according to a release from the Department of Justice.

Bailey is listed by the Maryland Secretary of State as a delegate who will vote for Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Trump won the Maryland Republican primary in late April with 54 percent of the vote statewide. Bailey was selected at the same time.

Authorities were first alerted about Bailey in February, when he allegedly tried to send ammunition and weapons to someone in Wisconsin through the postal service, according to the Justice Department.

According to court documents, law enforcement arranged to meet with Bailey at a postal facility on May 5, 2016, for the stated purpose of having Bailey provide information regarding the missing package in person. Bailey did not appear at the agreed meeting time and place. That day, law enforcement executed federal search warrants at adjoining properties associated with Bailey, including his residence, and seized a machine gun. The indictment alleges that Bailey illegally possessed a machine gun on May 5.

The indictment further alleges that from March 2015 to January 2016, Bailey attempted to use and did use a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce child pornography. The indictment also alleges that Bailey possessed child pornography.

But it is happening over and over again. This nut fits right in
with the Bundy militiaman from New Hampshire and the
white supremacist leader from California.

If the Trump organization really wants to keep these people out,
they should be trying harder. Someone is sleeping on the job.

Machine guns have been illegal for civilian possession since 1934. It's hardly some new Obama-Clinton new law.

As hard as I have been on the Nevada Sanders delegates these last few days, this reminds us that the people supporting Trump are WAY WORSE.

the bigots were obvious. The obsession with other people's sexual activities is a clear sign of perversion.
