FBI executes search warrant on Tennessee MAGA lawmaker: report

At issue is a false claim that Ogles made in a financial disclosure form in which he said he personally lent his campaign $320,000, despite the fact that his finances do not show he had sufficient assets to make such a loan possible.

FBI agents execute search warrant on Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, NewsChannel 5 confirms

FBI agents executed a search warrant late last week on Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles as the first-term Republican faces continuing scrutiny over fraudulent campaign financial reports that he filed

www.newschannel5.com

"...
Execution of the search warrant came immediately after Ogles defeated Courtney Johnston in the Republican primary as he seeks a second term in the U.S. Congress. Department of Justice guidelines generally prohibit law enforcement from taking any overt actions in investigations of a political candidate in the 60 days before an election.

Back in May, Ogles filed a series of amended campaign financial reports, admitting he had not personally loaned his campaign $320,000 as he had reported back in 2022.

Other amendments to his campaign financial reports resulted in Ogles retracting claims regarding thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and expenditures that he had previously reported to the Federal Election Commission.

That development came several months after NewsChannel 5 Investigates raised questions about whether Ogles had the financial resources to make that personal loan. Despite having reported making the $320,000 personal loan, Ogles' personal financial disclosures did not show any substantial investments — not even a savings account. ..."

"If they can come after me for flagrantly violating federal campaign finance laws then lying about it, they can come after you too!"

Andy Ogles in his own words:

"Democrat policies are making it impossible for hardworking folks to buy homes. The Biden-Harris Administration has increased the cost of homes by giving illegals taxpayer funds to buy them, leaving you outbid."

I mean come on. Even in the context of TrumpWorld bizarro claims this is laughable. Does anyone seriously believe (1) that the federal government is just handing cash to undocumented immigrants, and (2) that it's somehow enough cash to buy a freaking house? I struggle to understand how anyone who is dumb enough to buy this crap at face value can manage to feed and clothe themselves every day.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the average MAGA voter.
