The FBI and criminal investigators from the Internal Revenue Service on Thursday executed court-authorized search warrants at the home of Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh and Baltimore City Hall, FBI spokesman Dave Fitz said. Pugh, a Democrat, has taken a leave of absence amid a scandal over the sale of a children's book she authored.


Our inner cities are probably sub third world level in most aspects

She probably detained an illegal or something really concerning to the FBI.

Rumors are Shreveport's new mayor is already under Federal Criminal Investigation, Mr. West Point Harvard honor code himself.

There would be virtually no deterrent to local public corruption without the federal judicial system and LEAs. Yes, there needs to be some serious reform as well as some heads rolling at the FBI, but folks on here who call for the abolishment of the agency are trying to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Larry Hogan is such a clown. Cries constantly about Trump but the mayor of the largest city in his state cucks him out and steals $1 million from his hospital and not a peep about it.

So, exactly where does the State fit into this scenario? Is there no responsibility on the State level? Much of what this mayor did was probably already covered by a statute at the State level...

Not advocating for the abolishment of the FBI (it needs serious reform though) but it is not the Federal Government's job to keep local government in line...

The Baltimore Sun reported last month that Pugh was paid $500,000 by the University of Maryland Medical System for 100,000 of the books to distribute to schoolchildren. The no-bid arrangement was made while she was on the hospital network’s unpaid board.

Health provider Kaiser Permanente later acknowledged that it paid Pugh more than $100,000 to buy about 20,000 copies of her books during a period when the company was seeking a lucrative contract to provide health insurance to city employees. Others with business before the city, including Columbia businessman J.P. Grant, also wrote checks for the book.

In all, Pugh's Healthy Holly LLC took in at least $800,000 from local entities since 2011, The Sun has reported.


Yeah, there's some there somewhere don't you think?

Did CNN just happen to have a reporter on scene and show the raid live?
