<p>It’s January 2025 and President Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. The Democrat government in D.C. has officially ended. But there’s no end in sight to the crimes of elected Democrats. Meet this week’s featured Democrat – Hong Alyce Van of California, who has been criminally charged with multiple felonies in her attempted election fraud.</p>



<p>Van, elected in November 2020 to represent Stanton’s City Council District #2, engaged in forgery, perjury, and illegal voting in the November 5 election. In July last year, Van filed nomination papers to re-run for the same council seat despite having moved out of her district well over a year ago. She also kept her former voter registration address and cast her vote in the 2024 general election under her former address.</p>



<p>In a press release dated January 17, 2025, the Orange County District Attorney informed the public of the felony charges against Van – one felony count each for the crimes of perjury; offering a false or forged document to be filed, registered, or recorded; filing false nomination papers; and voting while not being entitled to vote at an election.</p>



<p>Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer was cited in the release stating:</p>



<p><em>“These are not mistakes. These are deliberate decisions to interfere with our democratic process and they will not be tolerated.”</em></p>



<p>If convicted on all counts, Van faces a maximum sentence of 6 years in state prison.</p>



<p>Also on Friday (January 17), an unsealed grand jury indictment named former mayor of Oakland (CA) Sheng Thao along with three others as co-conspirators in a bribery scheme. She, along with the others indicted, also faces charges of conspiracy and mail and wire fraud. ABC News reported that Thao faces up to 95 years in prison if convicted on all charges.</p>



<p>For many criminal Democrats, the final days of Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency brought great relief as they were pardoned by the outgoing Biden. Some of these criminals had been convicted of election-related crimes.</p>



<p>ABC affiliate WHAS-TV reported (January 20) that on his last day of presidency, Biden pardoned former Kentucky Democratic Party chief Jerry Lundergan who was convicted in 2019 of illegal campaign contributions. Lundergan had illegally paid $200,000 for goods and services to benefit his daughter Alison Lundergan Grimes’ 2014 campaign against Republican senator Mitch McConnell. In 2020, Lundergan was awarded a 21-month prison sentence and a $150,000 fine.</p>
