Cops fired in Stormy setup arrest now busted by the Feds.

[edbermac]

Two Columbus VICE officers were arrested Tuesday by federal agents.

It comes after a long investigation into corruption of the now defunct-VICE Squad of the Columbus Police Department. The two are accused of a host of crimes involiving bars and strip clubs.

Steven G. Rosser, 43, of Delaware, and Whitney R. Lancaster, 57, of Columbus, were each arrested without incident this morning and appeared in federal court this afternoon.

Those names might sound familiar. Both men were fired in 2019 after an internal investigation said they set-up famed adult actress and best selling author Stormy Daniels. She was accused of touching undercover cops, against state law while on tour in Columbus. Her July 2018 arrest was dismissed 12 hours after she was booked. She later sued and settled for more than $400,000.

While the federal charges are not related directly to the Daniels arrest, the crimes still center around strip clubs.

“The indictment alleges that these two former law enforcement officers abused their badges and deprived individuals of their Constitutional rights,” said U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers. “We will root out any alleged bad actors acting under color of law and are grateful to the vast majority of officers who do the honorable work of protecting us and the Constitution.”

10. More power to her.

The tRump family is making out like bandits from the government. Free travel, free meals, free protection. No wonder they want daddy to stay in office. Best money making gig any of them have ever had.

11. There's a difference........

The tRump family will never admit they're screwing anybody!

17. Good response. Maybe the trumps just try to do it but are always impotents.

Given the currently-known offspring of the peeResident impotus, I'm guessing future generations will be even less potent. Hopes!

Just like the murder of Epstein.
