New memos raise alarming questions about whether politics influenced probe into Obama appointee

The body that polices the behavior of federal agency watchdogs drafted a report by September 2019 that accused the Federal Housing Finance Agency's inspector general of whistleblower retaliation, witness intimidation and staff abuse but withheld its final action for 15 months until after President Donald Trump left office, according to newly released reports to Congress

 

The revelation this week is the latest twist in the case of FHFA Inspector General Laura Werthheimer, who was appointed by President Barack Obama and whose husband is a Democratic donor. Wertheimer's conduct was first flagged five years ago by whistleblowers in a case that dragged on, frustrating members of Congress like Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and defying a speedy resolution to complaints of a hostile workplace where employees complained of being belittled for their physical attributes as well as their work performance.

The new documents, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Empower Oversight whistleblower group, are raising questions about whether politics influenced a supposedly neutral process conducted by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency's Integrity Committee, the disciplinary arm of the inspector general community.:snip:

Blagojevich: ‘The Democrat Political Establishment Very Fearful of What I Know and What I Can Say’

Ex-Democrat Illinois governor turned “Trumpocrat” Rod Blagojevich said he believes current Gov. J.B. Pritzker tried to keep him in jail because the Democrat establishment is “afraid of what he knows” and “what [he] will say soon.” 

In a video obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, Blagojevich, who was Illinois governor from 2003 to 2009, can be heard talking about his relationship with the current governor, some of the events leading up to his time in federal prison, and his standing with the party he left behind. :snip:

High-profile Houston Democrats face corruption allegations

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo are each battling similar but separate controversies involving millions of dollars in government contracts awarded to politically connected individuals.  

The high-stakes drama engulfing the political scene in the nation's fourth-largest city has so far escaped national media coverage.  

Hidalgo has faced intense scrutiny over an $11 million vaccine outreach contract to Elevate Strategies, which is run by Felicity Pereyra, a Democratic political insider with ties to the county commissioners court. Pereyra also worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Pereyra's company was a one-woman operation until recently and only had existed for two years before being awarded the contract.:snip:

Quote

When the boy got into Smith’s vehicle, Smith drove them to a park where he then allegedly raped the teen. Afterward, the boy told police that Smith dropped him off at an undisclosed location. The boy first filed a sexual assault complaint against Smith in April 2019 but an arrest warrant was not issued until November 22, 2021.

 

2 related questions. 1. Why did it take so long to file charges? 2. You think the election Might have had something to do with it?

Former Obama Administration Adviser Pleads Guilty in $218,000 Theft Scheme

Seth Andrew, 42, pleaded guilty to charges that he had devised a scheme to steal from a network of charter schools he founded. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

Michael Levenson

Jan. 14, 2022

A former senior adviser in the Obama administration pleaded guilty on Friday to charges that he had orchestrated a scheme to steal more than $200,000 from a network of charter schools that he founded, prosecutors said.

The former adviser, Seth Andrew, 42, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and will face up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on April 14, prosecutors said. He has also agreed to pay restitution to the charter schools he founded, Democracy Prep Public Schools, prosecutors said.

Mr. Andrew was charged last April with stealing $218,000 from the network, which teaches mostly low-income students of color in New York and other states. Prosecutors said last year that he had used the money to get a lower interest rate on a mortgage for a $2 million apartment in Manhattan.

I don't know which is more shocking, that he stole the money - or that he was a Democrat in favor of charter schools!

There is a 3rd possibility. He set up the Charter Schools up in order to rip them off.

Democrats have another crime problem: several officeholders face felony corruption or sex charges

A flurry of Democratic lawmakers have suddenly resigned and/or been indicted over the last six months in connection with charges ranging from corruption to sexual predation.

Even as Democrats' face growing political perceptions that they are soft on crime due to a breakdown of law and order across blue-state urban centers, they now face an unexpected new crime problem: a wave of allegations implicating their officeholders themselves in committing crimes

 

A flurry of Democratic (and several Republican) lawmakers have suddenly resigned and/or been indicted over the last six months in connection with a wide range of charges, including embezzlement, campaign finance violations, perjury, defrauding CARES Act relief programs, and child sexual assault. :snip:

Something Stinks in the Illinois Governor's Office

The more we learn about the Jenny Thornley affair, the more it appears that senior members of the Pritzker administration, including potentially the governor and his wife, may have facilitated a fraud on the state by a now-indicted former campaign aide to enrich her and then obstructed efforts to bring her to justice.

This is a tangled web, so stay with me as I set forth a timeline of events and characters, according to the Chicago Tribune.

 

The former executive director of  the Illinois State Police Merit Board, Jack Garcia, discovered evidence that one of the employees under his direction, Jenny Thornley, was stealing money from the people of the state 

Garcia is a well-known, skilled investigator who previously supervised the divisions of internal investigations and forensic services, before becoming the first deputy director of the Illinois State Police. Thornley was a campaign aide for Gov. J.B. Pritzker (her husband, Jared, was also a senior political appointee at the Illinois comptroller’s office) and close enough to Pritzker and his wife, M.K., that she had their personal telephone numbers.

After assembling the evidence and building the case, Garcia scheduled meetings to fire Thornley and refer her for prosecution on the morning of Feb. 3, 2020. However, on the eve of that day, Thornley contacted (at least) the governor's wife (pictured, at left) and asked her to intervene, alleging that Garcia had assaulted her sexually a week or so earlier.

 

The governor’s chief counsel promptly called the merit board (which is an independent agency created “to remove political influence” from State Police hiring, promotion and discipline) to “advise” it to: (a) cancel her firing and the referral for prosecution, (b) suspend Garcia (the experienced investigator who uncovered the Thornley fraud) and (c) retain an outside counsel proposed by the governor’s office. The merit board went along, but also suspended Thornley, and Garcia voluntarily took and passed a lie detector test.

Then Thornley sued to stop the investigation of her own claim of sexual harassment.

The outside counsel, Christina Egan, nonetheless completed an investigation by July 2020 (at the cost of $500,000 paid by the people of Illinois), confirming the evidence Garcia assembled that Thornley had stolen money and committed forgery, and finding no evidence of Thornley’s sexual assault allegation. The State Police Merit Board then reinstated Garcia, fired Thornley, referred her for prosecution. She has now been indicted for theft and forgery.

However, after Thornley was fired, someone with clout in the Pritzker administration somehow granted her disability payments reserved for people that are actually state employees. These payments (amounting to some $71,000) went on for more than a year, ending days before she was indicted for theft and fraud.  These extensive payments were for “injuries'' sustained from an “assault” that Egan determined had not occurred.:snip:

Omar paid thousands by restaurant accused of stealing money intended to feed starving children

Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are accused of receiving donations from men who stole millions of COVID relief dollars. One of these men also runs a charity founded by a city council member and sits on a city working group.

Alpha News Staff

January 31, 2022

Rep. Ilhan Omar has partied at and received donations from a business accused by the FBI of stealing millions of COVID relief dollars from children.

Feeding Our Future received $197.9 million in 2021 to provide food to starving Minnesota children impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the FBI recently raided the nonprofit’s headquarters and suggested that little or none of this money was actually spent feeding kids.

(Snip)

Omar is not the only progressive politician who may have received stolen money as donations. The Sahan Journal reports that at least six men named by the FBI as being involved in the scandal donated to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Two of these are owners of Safari.

A third Frey donor, Abdikadir Mohamud, runs Stigma-Free — a group that was originally incorporated and run by Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman. Stigma-Free also worked with Safari in perpetrating fraud, the FBI claims.

Abdikadir Mohamud was appointed by the mayor to sit on a public safety working group late last year.

Meanwhile, Aimee Bock, the leader of Feeding Our Future, maintains that she is innocent. “I believe that this is an attack on a community,” she said, apparently accusing the FBI of being racist against Somalis. Bock’s home was raided earlier this month by law enforcement officers.

FEC Records Show Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes Used Campaign Funds To Pay Family Thousands Of Dollars

In 2018, the Hartford Courant reported Hayes’ son David Crenshaw, age 24, joined Hayes to celebrate her Congressional victory. The FEC records, reviewed by the Daily Caller, show that Hayes paid over $15,000 in increments of $282.47 each to a person with the name David Crenshaw under the category of “Payroll”.:snip:

In free lunch fraud, before the raids

Scott Johnso

Feb. 2 2022

Two hundred FBI agents executed search warrants at homes and offices all over the Twin Cities on January 20. The underlying case involves a massive fraud on the federal government in the USDA subsidized lunch program (loosened during Covid). The facts laid out in the three search warrants are shocking. I have embedded the second of the three warrants and supporting documents at the bottom of this post.

My old friend Abdi Nur provides a sort of clearinghouse for news of interest to the Somali community on his Facebook page. Abdi is a patriotic American and supporter of law enforcement. He has proved a reliable source for me many times over the past five years. On January 15 Abdi posted the video below. He reports at some substantial risk to his personal safety.

REPORT: Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran paid by Jill Biden’s ex-husband to stop delivery of anti-Biden newspapers before 1972 Senate win

DiMaiolo Santolo

November 4, 2021

Jill Biden’s ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, states that Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran allegedly organized a pro-Biden picket line and raised $3000 prior to his Senate win in 1972.

This astounding report comes from Ben Shreckinger’s new book, ‘The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-year Rise to Power‘, which was published on September 21st.  The novel goes through how Biden managed to gain a victory from being thirty points behind in the Senate race against incumbent Senator J. Caleb Boggs.

Sheeran, at the time, was an official for the Wilmington, Delaware Teamsters where Biden resided.

According to the book, an unknown Democratic lawyer reportedly had a meeting with Sheeran and requested him to prevent the delivery of pro-Boggs Morning News and Evening Journal issues.  These ads were meant to act as a rebuttal to Biden’s comments about Bogg’s previous voting record.

Sheeran was quoted in the novel explaining how he would “…hire some people and put them on the picket line for him [Biden]. They were people nobody would mess with…”.  Sheeran also allegedly assured that no trucks would be allowed to leave or enter the area while the picket line was in progress.

“The line went up and the newspapers were printed, but they stayed in the warehouse and they never were delivered… I have no way of knowing if Joe Biden knew if that picket line thing was done on purpose on his behalf… If he did know he never let on to me,” said Sheeran in the novel.
