Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), a staunch supporter of the MAGA movement, was targeted by federal authorities just days after securing a hard-fought victory in the Republican primary against a RINO challenger.
The raid, reported by local outlet WTVF on Tuesday.
Ogles’ attorney, G. Kline Preston IV, refused to confirm or deny the search, stating, “I’m not going to confirm or deny that there was a search warrant issued.” Similarly, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee declined to comment on the matter.
Ogles has been under scrutiny for his campaign’s financial practices. The timing of the raid, coming so soon after his primary win on August 1, has raised eyebrows and sparked allegations of political persecution.

Color me stunned!
We need to start over in staffing some of these agencies. There need to be not only oversight but punitive money damages from the personal pockets of agency leadership who thought this kind of activity was acceptable in a Republic.
Campaign finance law should be voided in its entirety.
To scare others.
Has a FBI ever raided a leftist?
Very telling.
“…was targeted by federal authorities..”
THIS is what drives me nuts…
We have this mysterious “Federal authorities”, who can swoop in bring “JUSTICE!” whenever it’s a conservative…
Yet corruptocrats like Hillary, Biden, Pelosi, etc… pull all kinds of illegal crap - in the open and I hear people say - “oh, only the DOJ has to prosecute that…”
Six ways from Sunday, according to a famous Senator. That looks like one way. Also looks like the RINO was one of theirs.
“there was a search warrant issued”
A judge signed off on the raid.
No.
Defund. Dismantle. Do not replace.
Oh good. They're totally unbiased and honorable.
How about the massive money laundering of dozens or hundreds of small donations through unsuspecting democrat donors? No FBI curiosity there?
My mistake in reading.
The article says there might not have been a search warrant.
Land of the Free?
Home of the Brave?
“mistakes in initial financial fillings”
“FBI took possession of my cell phone”

The Republican legislature in TN 2 years ago changed the 5th district which was 1 of the 2 solid Dem seats . Their only 2 seats out of 9.
Ogles won in 2022. The Dems ran a Rino this year in the primary. She got 43%.
This is payback.
30 years ago TN was solid Dem. Now it’s gone.
LAWfare. Corrupt Department of Injustice targeting political enemies. Jefferson and Adams are spinning in their graves.
“I support President Trump, I’m pro-life, I’m for immediately securing the border, and fully funding law enforcement. Andy Ogles says he believes all that too — but he’s a totally ineffective politician who’s getting nothing done. He hasn’t passed a single bill into law. We need a real conservative leader who will deliver results, not a do-nothing grandstander who just chases headlines.
Middle Tennessee deserves a Member of Congress who is interested in fighting for our beliefs instead of just fighting for headlines.
I’m running for Congress because I believe in public service and in just a few short years on the Metro Council, I’ve been able to deliver real results. I’ve seen first-hand what the radical left wants to do in Nashville, and we can’t let that happen in Washington, D.C. We need real, effective, conservative leadership.”

So Kamala can “raise funds” for BLM which go straight to Democrat coffers but that’s perfectly legal!
You think two tiered justice is only in England?
