CNN — An FBI raid at the home of New York City Mayor Eric Adam’s chief fundraiser Thursday morning is said to be part of an investigation to determine if Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign conspired with a Brooklyn-based construction company to funnel foreign money into the campaign coffers, multiple law enforcement officials told CNN.

The alleged scheme would have allowed money coming from foreign business entities to be masked as donations from American citizens who did not actually donate the money...

That’s what happens to those who dare criticize El Residente Pedo Jose (on immigration in this case) ...
The young children of rich Americans are happily foregoing purchases to make maximum legal political contributions once their parents top out.
The FEC has full details.
Not to worry- he’s not been held accountable for anything in his life!
I was looking at a picture of the mayor.
He seems to be unhappy despite having the job he wanted to get.
Call Gropin’ Joe on a burner phone. He can give ya tips on the whole process.
Really, who would have thunk it?
NYC has RCV for a reason.
Deep State installed Adams.
What’s going on is the same thing Deep State did with Cuomo.
The question is why is Deep State doing this.
I seriously doubt Adams has the b@lls to try to wriggle out from his deal.
Something else is going in.
This might not be about Adams at all.
Deep State might just be using him to send a message to anyone thinking of defying them.
Why Jewish influence is waning. Islamic monies apparently.
Turks for Adams? Mayor Erdogan?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Only illegal contributions from China are allowed.
Look at the bidens
You just nailed it. Either go along with Pedo Joe’s plans or the political army of the democrat party will come after you.
By the way.....I totally agree with James. Thank you RINO party for doing absolutely NOTHING about this criminal regime in the past 2 years and 9 months. Ice machines in the Arctic are more useful
Well - he is fond of illegal aliens - as long as they don’t roost near by....
Apparently, Adams has been a bit uppity in his speech about Biden’s migrants. I wonder if the stupid chit is smart enough to put a smile on and welcome these fine invaders.
BTTT
Golly gee whiz. Could this be the beginning of Barry and Joe’s Most Excellent Revolution eating its own?
Black mayor in trouble with powers that be
I find it impossible to believe that the fbi is going after the mayor because he broke the law.
