How is this any different from the many business deals realDonaldTrump is making money from his position in the Oval Office that would require the financial records to uncover?
People in politics who use it for other than serving taxpayer citizens, should be banned for life including retirement pensions. This means Any and All in all levels of service. Being elected should bring closer scrutiny.
P H E W !
Democrat Mayor....
Stop pickin on de black folk. Doncha know they is protected, above de law!
Old horse face
Why is she being singled out? How many federal, state and local politicians make under the table deals with public funds to get personal wealth? Most. This is one of the many things wrong with government.
Shocker. Driven that city into the abyss.
Lol. Democrats. She's voting Bernie for sure
Corrupt LIBERAL city.
Terrible mismanagement and partisanship.
It's MORE than just children's books...
Mayor Pugh should have made Heathy Holly into a video game and partnered with Sheila Dixon. I heard that she has a few Xbox ‘s left over!
Please report this to your viewers.. it's actual breaking news
Well well well
😂😂😂😂 That’s why these cities are shitholes , they’ve been run by Democrats for years
Prohibit all the books in the United States! Allow only the Bible! TheNewUSA Obscurantism Mayor_Catherine_Pugh MayorPugh50
About time !!!
A Democrat no way
I think the entire city of Baltimore should be destroyed and start all over again from scratch. There are times when the damage is so severe & gone on for so long, it cannot be repaired.
Baltimore seems to have a bad track record with mayors.
BlackPower! She will claim innocence and pull the race card of course.
College Admissions Scandal...but of course, Pugh WILL go to jail...noprivilege
All politicians, mayors, judges, congressmen and anyone else in the field especially ones that are life long employed should be fired and replaced every 4 years! They are all shady!!
Not another good little Dem.
Lol
Another dem socialist screwing over the people they pretend to car about.... Socialism is evil.
So with so many Pugh and her staffers “on leave” who at the top level is doing the work on behalf of all taxpayers?
Another corrupt politician beings her trip through the justice system.
It’s kinda like having the govt pay to fill your own resort with secret service people to protect your security.
Someone needs to call Optima Tax Relief immediately!
RadioDana Is this a new low in political corruption... Making businesses buy a children's book for political influence.
Really? How about getting at Trump that is the real criminal
Strange that CNN didn't have cameras there this time like the Roger Stone morning FBI raid...
DEMOCRAT MAYOR
Apparently the FBI doesn’t care if you are a Republican or a Democrat. These dedicated public servants just enforce the law.
ANNAREYNOLDS55 supposed to be me again?
You wonder why it took so long for this to come out ....
Wait a minute, I thought that all women in power were better than all men in power!
Pugh and five of her staffers are currently on leave amid a scandal over her book sales.
Most of Baltimore politicians should be searched.
About 20 FBI agents are currently in city hall.
FBI executing search warrant at Baltimore mayor's home , City hall.
Corruption needs to stop jail time
It's hard not to notice how much corruption there is in Cities with ...... Well it's obvious.
Baltimore, the crotch of America
What exactly is she being accused of.
She will get a pardon.
She's on leave?! SHE'S DOING IT WRONG! Hasn't she learned anything? She and her cohorts need to deny, deny, deny ... make up lies (each bigger than the previous). And then, to top it off, instruct potential witnesses to not respond to subpoenas. I've seen it in action; it works.
Lawyers for the mayor: 'We're filing to change the venue of the investigation to Chicago, since it is clear the mayor was framed by Nigerian bodybuilders in whiteface. We are demanding an immediate dismissal of any charges that might be laid at a later date. Also, Trump bad.'
Oh Baltimore...your corruption never ends.
How the heck do these people get elected?
Outstanding.. Lock her up....
Democrats....HA! The real criminals and swamp
Prime Minister John key was running businesses while I'm government, that's illegal
The Democratic Party in a nutshell.
If you want to see real Democrats in action look under the rock of almost every major city they control. Crime, poverty, filth and corruption. Now they want that for America.
Ahhh, there you go baltimore ladership... making us proud AGAIN sarcasm
Meanwhile 13 Baltimore High Schools have not 1 student proficient in math. That's Dem Govt
The Wire, new season ? 🤨
Just another Democrat that should be wearing orange
So hood
Well she certainly has that “crook” look about her! Throw her in jail for a long long time!
The real 'crime' here is that the NFL is a business.
