Upon her departure from the Democratic Party, the Justice Department and FBI considered opening a criminal investigation into the then-Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., over alleged campaign finance violations, according to reports.
The New York Post reported that emails obtained by the newspaper revealed communications between DOJ’s Criminal Division; a prosecutor in then-Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves’ office; and FBI agents in the bureau’s Washington Field Office that discussed investigating Sinema in February 2024.
Sinema left the Democratic Party in 2022 and chose not to seek re-election in 2024.
The email exchanges came in response to the Post’s Feb. 1, 2024, report on Sinema’s six-figure campaign spending on a security detail, luxury hotels, cars and concert tickets. Graves reportedly flagged the story to the Biden-era DOJ and FBI.
Then-Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Aloi discussed investigating Sinema for potential violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). Then-FBI special agent Walter Giardina told her he wanted to be involved in the probe, the Post reported.
"It’s disappointing, though not surprising, to learn that Walter Giardina, who led politically motivated investigations at the FBI, also sought to investigate Kyrsten for partisan political reasons after she defied Biden and the Senate Democrats to protect the filibuster," said Daniel Winkler, Sinema’s chief of staff.
"Giardina’s pathetic attempts led nowhere, his abuse of power is now exposed to the public and the filibuster stands strong today."
Winkler expressed concern that the potential probe was politically motivated.
Sinema's campaign spent $796,565 on hotels, a new car and concert tickets and $265,521 on security costs, according to the 2023 Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reported by the Post.
No investigation was ever intimated after federal prosecutors decided against it.

They didn’t spend the money on charm school or a fashion consultant, as I recall it.
they are the most vindictive people on the planet- like jilted lovers who will punish anyone who doesn’t love them unconditionally-
The Democratic party has ruined the DOJ and the FBI. Trump was right in firing those that he could.

Wait …. That sounds fascist
But the Biden bass turds had no plan to vet and investigate her replacement, Mark “Gollum” Kelly. “The Jerk”.
Michael Graves is the real villain here. He fanatically persecuted the J6 freedom fighters. Graves and the DC FBI office should be in jail. Trump’s DOJ is letting these bast@rds off the hook.
You can never leave the mob.
And like so many others the left has pushed away for not being 100% completely on-board with whatever agenda they're championing at this exact moment, she's now working with the Trump Administration.
The people Obama unleashed on us, who regained power under Biden, sure like to throw the term “fascist” around a lot. Truth is, they’re the biggest wannabe fascists in the history of the country. We don’t have a strong enough history of that; they needed to develop the means of oppression, and they certainly gave it their all. What a Triumph imprisoning the former President do the Inited States would have been, in their eyes. There can be any doubt that if Kamala has won, by the end of two terms there would have been thousands of political prisoners in jail
The impulse to control in the center of the liberal mind. What we’re seeing across the West is where we would be in 4-8 years
All it takes is the election of Gavin Newsom to the White House in 2028.
Trump’s DoJ in both terms suck. Blondi is as bad as Sessions and Patel still thinks the FBI is full of “good cops” with a few bad apples. Totally worthless do nothings.
shrs one of many but lest we forget-———>
that slimy ho of a man Adam Schiff
things have gone too quiet on him
Secondly, Hopefully Tish will be dis-barred
and should be!
Is there anyone here who can explain
the disbarment procedurals?
The SIGNAL not the NOISE (of this article and comments so far):
John “Mitch’s Bit*h” Thune still pretends the GOP needs to preserve the filibuster so DIMS will not end it the next time they gain power.
It is a certainity that without codifying the President’s executive orders into LAW before the midterms America will become a sanctuary country (think one party rule Kalifornia).Following their promised Supreme Court packing resulting in ending the 1st Amendment (think England,Europe) ending the 2nd amendment (think Australia ) Bonus illegal alien amnesty with pardons and reparations (think South Africa where the kill the whites to give their property to the current ruling junta) It could never be unwound. The U.S. becomes the movie Wolverines.
I kinda like her goofy fashion sense
Going after Sinema because she left the rat party, imagine if Trump had done that it would be national news, but Bidens regime, eh no biggie
Exactly. Well said.
Democrats are vile, utterly evil. Sorry! Not sorry. Unbelievable!!
The Party does not tolerate defection
