Joseph Morelle [January 6th Committee] started his career in politics violating election law. It's safe to assume he is a career criminal.
1991: "Prosecutors have offered Assemblyman Joseph Morelle, D-Irondequoit, a chance to plead guilty to disorderly conduct, a lesser charge than the misdemeanor he faces for violating state election laws in obtaining signatures on an election petition last year. His attorney, Lawrence J. Andolina, revealed the plea offer Wednesday after an appearance in Irondequoit Town Court, where Morelle's court date was delayed to Jan. 15. Morelle was elected last year in a bitter campaign against Republican Mark S. Ogden. During the campaign, a local Republican filed a civil action alleging that Morelle fraudulently obtained seven signatures on a petition to secure an independent line on the ballot. A State Supreme Court justice ruled they were fraudulently obtained, but let the independent line stand because there were enough valid signatures. Morelle has acknowledged he let family members sign the petition for others in their family."
