A close ally of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been charged with 16 criminal counts tied to the misuse of funds.

Fay Beydoun, a Michigan businesswoman and longtime Democratic donor, was charged Wednesday with allegedly misusing $20 million in state grants, Michigan's Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel announced.

'Today, we allege Fay Beydoun sought and received a $20 million 'Michigan enhancement grant' from the state Legislature, operated a criminal enterprise to use those funds for personal expenses and her own enrichment, and lied repeatedly when reporting how she used those funds,' Nessel said.


quote:

'Why were there charges? Because the Chamber of Commerce was loud about it. They are very powerful. It's an evenly mixed board, political for sure,' LeDuff said.

'If they weren't complaining, you wouldn't see this,' LeDuff added.

Is it really that much of a stretch that Gretchen would hang out with criminals?

Whitmer needs to be burned to ash before her higher-office aspirations can take flight. She is pure evil, and you can physically see it in her eyes.

Is that enough fraud to get a pardon from the President?

But they would never cheat in elections to ensure their cash cow.

Hence, why “they could only find a few cases of election fraud that would never be enough to overturn an election”—the board smooth brain

Wake me up when she gets convicted, sentenced, and is in prison.

Minnesota proved even when a jury agrees someone is guilty the judge can still let them go,

This $20M is only a part of a larger political slush fund rolled into the Michigan Economic Development’s budget.
quote:

'The process by which this grant was proposed, developed, awarded, and administered bears practically zero semblance to the traditional grant process, and was only made possible through a system that pairs political cronyism with minimal oversight.'

That’s a lot of money if you know the right palms to grease.
quote:

Beydoun has been a prominent figure in Democratic circles for years, contributing tens of thousands of dollars to candidates statewide, including more than $20,000 to Whitmer's campaigns. She also hosted a Whitmer fundraiser at her home that raised $13,500.

They didn’t even tried to hide it.
quote:

Whitmer later appointed her to the executive board of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), the state agency focused on economic growth

Beydoun was appointed to the board of the very entity the money was laundered through.

That’s brazen. There needs to be at least two more levels of middlemen to increase the degrees of separation.

How it usually works:
Beydoun gets appointed to the board, then funnels smaller amounts to friends, allies, and associates. Not this time. One big check for $20 Million was directed to Beydoun by the Governor.
