Report: FBI raid in Annapolis is just the first of numerous Trump-Russia warrants being executed

[ffr]

In the wake of Donald Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey to try to sabotage the Trump-Russia investigation, a number of political insiders predicted last night that the FBI would strike back in a major way today (link). Sure enough, the FBI just raided a GOP fundraising firm in Annapolis (link). But word is now that this is just one of numerous Trump-Russia warrants that are being executed.... Palmer Report

3. According to this the raid has to do with Ken Cuccinelli

Rogers, who said his firm represents the campaign committees for Maryland House and Senate candidates, told reporters that the FBI investigation concerns work the firm performed during the 2013 Virginia gubernatorial campaign of former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a Republican.

According to Rogers, his firm settled a civil suit brought by the Cuccinelli campaign after he lost that race to Democrat Terry McAuliffe. Rogers said the investigation appears to have stemmed from allegations brought in that

5. LOL! I just posted the following about her client in that race:

8. On the silly side of this I tried to find her clients and found this:
From 2012 NBC4

He's a former alleged White House party crasher, and the estranged husband of a woman who came up with the 51st way to leave her lover... and now Tareq Salahi is serious about becoming a candidate for governor of Virginia...

Salahi, who at last count had a two percent approval rating, seems to be either delusional or self-promotional.

The team.....
Kelley Rogers of Strategic Campaign Group will serve as a senior consultant to Salahi for Governor.

6. That's hilarious. I wonder if this firm was just laundering money.

Doesn't sound like they were doing any actual work.

7. Yep, that's my bet also! All for salaries, no dollars for program

10. Less than two percent went to campaigning

Apparently all the rest -- millions, from many PACs -- went to consulting fees.
