FBI Investigating Ducey Tax Refund Campaign
All About Arizona News ^ | 09/01/21 | All About Arizona News

The FBI’s Public Corruption unit has begun investigating efforts by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s past and current staffers – including one who is now a federal judge – to push for a closed-door deal to issue tax refunds worth as much as $100 million to aid one of Ducey’s campaign supporters.

Grant Nulle, former deputy director at the Department of Revenue, said an FBI agent contacted him in mid-July, shortly after an Arizona Republic investigation uncovered how the Ducey administration had pushed the department to agree to refund sales taxes on fuel for mining companies, even though that tax had been in place for decades.

The companies that stood to benefit were represented by Texas tax firm Ryan LLC, founded by Ducey supporter G. Brint Ryan. The top three deputies in Ducey’s administration left their government jobs and went to work for Ryan to push for the tax refund.

Those working for the governor met with Revenue officials at least 16 times to insist that the department – which was under their oversight in the governor’s office –agree to stop opposing Ryan and issue a tax refund to one fuel company. That, officials said, would have triggered refunds in all other similar cases, costing the state’s general fund more than $100 million.

For a second I thought they were talking about Xiden’s White House Reporter and NEMISIS Peter Doocey.

Gee, the Fed is going after a Republican governor... He MUST be guilty!

Seriously, the DOJ is so politicized and aligned against the Right, I wouldn't believe them if they said water was wet.

Am I the only one that sees the laughable irony of the above statement?

Could be. I don't know much about him. All I know is that I don't trust the DOJ -- the agency that doesn't think BML or Antifa are terrorist organizations, but believes that we are, by virtue of our belief in American Soverignty, our Rights and our Constitution, as well as our supportt or those politicians who share thoe beliefs. Those make us dangerous, in the warped, fetid minds of the woke, Marxist Feds.

I think he’s running for higher office and the smear campaign has begun.

Headline in April.

Trump is still fuming that GOP Gov. Doug Ducey didn’t back his claims of election fraud, reportedly telling allies he may travel to Arizona to campaign against him
