FBI raids home, office of lobbyist Michael Esposito

[Zorro]

FBI agents investigating a lobbyist who has claimed close ties to President Trump and his family searched the man’s Northern Virginia home and D.C. office early Thursday morning looking for evidence of possible fraud, according to people familiar with the matter.

Michael Esposito’s business has boomed in the Trump era, but Trump, White House officials and senior Republicans have said he greatly exaggerated his claims of access to the president and his inner circle.

Following a Washington Post story in November on Esposito’s business, the FBI is investigating to see if Esposito may have defrauded his clients or engaged in any other type of financial fraud, the people said.

Esposito did not respond to phone messages or emails requesting comment, and no one answered the door at his home in Sterling Friday morning.

I'm sure this is just another deep state witch hunt.

It does seem there's a lot of Republican witches these days.

1. If they find something, he'll be another one who mysteriously kills himself in custody.

2. no need....

Anything they find that relates to trump, his family, or his businesses will be put under seal and hidden away.

It's standard procedure when they decide not to indict. All evidence collected is sealed away.

After all, if you aren't going to indict them, there is no reason to drag them through the dirt. (sarcasm).

3. I don't know if the term "witch hunt" means the same thing as it used to. Seems like when we

investigated tRUMP, reTHUGS and the cultists we found a lot of "witches" and I expect that to
continue. And nothing succeeds like success!

4. You mean there are grifters working under the Grifter-in-Chief, tRump?

Liars, cheats and thieves are coming out of the woodwork, like roaches.

5. I'm waiting for the raid on

the trump family organization et al. These traitorous criminals need to be in jail sooner than later.

6. The GOP seems to have a LOT of "coffee fetchers." Nt
