Summary
1. FBI Operation Riptide & Law Enforcement Activity
- Crackdowns on cybercrime (credit card theft, ransomware, fraud schemes)
- Arrests and convictions for:
- Business email fraud ($25M)
- Large-scale bank and investment fraud
- COVID-19 relief fraud
- Seizures of:
- Firearms
- Drugs (including fentanyl)
- Prosecution of child exploitation cases
This is evidence of effective law enforcement under current leadership and this reflects fulfillment of anti-corruption promises.
Political Framing of Law Enforcement
-
- Earlier administrations misused the FBI for censorship or political purposes
- Current efforts are focused on “real crime”
2. Allegations Involving California Governor Gavin Newsom
- The DOJ, IRS, and FBI are investigating financial ties
- Investigations stem from whistleblower complaints
- A former chief of staff pleaded guilty to fraud and lying to the FBI
- Potential issues involving:
- Nonprofit funding
- Donations from companies lobbying the governor
- Failure to properly report millions in contributions
- This is a serious case being underreported by the media
- Newsom’s defense that it’s a 'political attack' is false & misleading
