Baltimore Mayor Bolts — Pugh Missing After FBI-IRS Raid

Via ZeroHedge

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh (D) has gone missing after the FBI and IRS raided her home, according to Baltimore CBS affiliate WJZ.

Jason Bentley, Pugh’s spokesman, told the Associated Press on Thursday that he has no clue where the Mayor is, while her defense attorney, Steve Silverman, routed calls to voicemail.

According to the report, “Pugh was at her home when the raid began, but has since left the state.”

​​​​​Federal agents leave City Hall in the investigation into Mayor Catherine Pugh’s business dealings. The mayor’s second floor offices are one of several locations raided on Thursday morning.

Pugh was asked to resign by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan shortly after the raids.

Today, agents for the FBI and the IRS executed search warrants at the mayor’s homes and offices,” said Hogan. “Now, more than ever, Baltimore city needs strong and responsible leadership. Mayor Pugh has lost the public trust. She is clearly not fit to lead. For the good of the city, Mayor Pugh must resign.”

Neighbors say they haven’t seen her in weeks. Others were devastated at news of the raid.

The city is now into the fourth week of Pugh on indefinite leave and silence is surrounding Baltimore’s top offices. Pugh’s aides have gone silent on status updates, declining to comment on her health this week- as questions linger on when, or if, she plans to return to work.

Last Friday her spokesman said she is recovering from pneumonia and plans to return to work.

Meanwhile, dominos continue to fall inside Baltimore City Hall on Tuesday, as acting Mayor Jack Young stayed tight-lipped on his recent decision to place a seventh Pugh staffer on leave of absence. –WJZ

“I’m committed to stabilizing the city and moving forward, and any changes I need to make, I will make them,” said acting Mayor Young.

“I haven’t spoken to her in two and a half weeks. I haven’t heard from her. I have no idea other than what I read in the paper.”

HSF…
Funny you should mention “The Face”. The moment I saw it I thought “Dust off Farmers Face Essay”. Good lord what a face. She must be one hell of a campaigner to get elected with something like that growing out of her neck.

Nah–no campaigning to it. It’s like Pelosi said about AOC’s borough, “you could tape a “D” on a glass of water and it would win election in her district.”

Gee now that another “Liberal Democrat” has failed Baltimore. I wonder what they will elect next. The ole saying “You get what you pay for” comes to mind.In this case you get what you elected.

It was announced the other day that they have 51,000 of them including the 33,000 courtesy of Weiner’s laptop. It was also revealed that Obama committed obstruction of justice as he has/had them too. Much more to follow. Don’t expect to hear any of this on the MSM news

Add carpet muncher for Chicago’s new mayor. It’s like playing Russian Roulette with all 6 chambers loaded.

If only the people of Baltimore would elect for mayor an individual with the best combination of characteristics, those that will determine great political leadership and vision for the city:

A Black muslim lesbian in a wheelchair.

That and an extra five billion dollars a year for the budget ought to turn things around!

Commieass Prog havens are probably rushing to pass laws making themselves sanctuary cities for commieass prog politicians caught up in corruption scandals. She can be on the lam until a bill passes this afternoon.
Is arresting a Black politician for stealing from a Black constituency racist?

What about the hospitals that bribed her? Did she go to one for her “pneumonia”? Are her books still available in Baltimore or just heroin?

Remember Pelosi is from a political family of Baltimore . Of course her ilk concentrated on making it a white shithole but now the black shithole builders are playing the political game . They had good teachers !
