FBI Investigates Eric Adams’ Campaign for Illegal Campaign Contributions
Times News Global ^ | November 4, 2023

The FBI has launched an investigation into the campaign of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, focusing on allegations of illegal campaign contributions. This is the second time Adams’ campaign has faced scrutiny for funneling donations through straw donors.

On Thursday, the FBI searched the home of Brianna Suggs, Adams’ chief fundraiser, as part of the investigation. The search warrant suggests that the campaign may have received illegal foreign campaign contributions from the Turkish government and Turkish nationals, disguised as donations from US donors who had not actually given their own money.

In July, six men were indicted in Manhattan for a similar scheme, accused of funneling thousands to Adams’ campaign.

The FBI raid on Adams fundraiser happened right before Adams was to meet the other big city mayors to talk about all the migrants.

The accusation is that Turkish money came into Adams campaign.

Lt. General Michael Flynn by the way former Trump National Security Adviser was accused of being a foreign agent for Turkey (Türkiye).

Exactly. This is how Biden has always used the dept.of justice and all it’s related agencies: tools of punishment and intimidation, just like Hugos successor in Venezuela.

What about that ActBlue thing that OKeefe uncovered?

Straight up money laundering. That ugly crypto kid is going to prison for the same thing yet somehow the puppet masters of that organization are chillaxin’ somewhere.

How could Adams and his guy have lost their Get Out of Jail Free cards? They just have to hope they land on “Jail. Just visiting.”

Friday, November 10th: FBI Director Christopher Wray said that he was shutting down the investigation into possible corruption charges against Eric Adams. The Director said in an announcement, “After a complete and thorough investigation of all the pertinent evidence, no reasonable prosecutor would press charges in these matters.”
