Episode Details

Former Portage Mayor James Snyder is mounting a bold legal challenge to throw out his federal IRS obstruction conviction, arguing the case was built on misleading evidence and that the statute of limitations should have barred it from ever being prosecuted. His defense leverages a recent Supreme Court ruling that cleared him on a bribery charge tied to garbage trucks, claiming the same flawed logic underpins the obstruction case. Lawyers highlight that the IRS agent who initiated the probe admitted the decision was swayed by Snyder’s political status and the multi-year nature of the scheme—not the tax issue alone. With oral arguments requested, Snyder’s team aims to finally close a nine-year legal saga that began with a sweeping 2016 indictment.
