FBI swoops down on offices, homes of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and associates
Dallas Morning News ^ | June 27, 2011 | Staff reports

Posted on 06/27/2011 3:32:56 PM PDT by ken in texas

FBI agents armed with federal search warrants swarmed the homes and offices of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, his top assistant and a political consultant Monday.

Agents were seen coming and going and searching vehicles at the county administration offices in the Texas Schoolbook Depository, at Price’s home in Oak Cliff and several other locations.

Price’s attorney, Billy Ravkind, released copies of search warrants issued for the commissioner’s person and two vehicles — but not copies of other warrants for his home and office.

The warrants said agents sought all electronic data from 2001 to the present related to alleged violations of federal charges ranging from bribery and tax evasion to money laundering and structuring of transactions to evade reporting requirements.

Speaking at his attorney’s office, Price said he did not know what the investigation is about.

No mention of party affiliation in the excerpt.

True, and it also wasn't mentioned anywhere in the article.

cowtowney was correct in post #5.

Damn! He looks like Cosby.

BTW the FBI does not conduct searches on behalf of the IRS. Tax Evasion means the FBI couldn’t make the case on their own, wanted the headlines and IRS-CID ignored. Media accuracy I guess.

Rick Perry should have the Texas Rangers go in there and arrest him on TX state charges.

Here, he demands an apology for a council member referring to something as disappearing down a ‘black hole’

the jerk accuses him of racism and demands an apology - how long is America going to put up with this ignorance. (And the ignorance here is probably two-fold. He probably has no idea what the scientific black hole is.

Too soon to tell, but his “Bentley” was found parked in aide Daphney’s “garage”!

begin quote

Agents also searched the home of Price’s top assistant, Dapheny Fain, and the home and office of political consultant Kathy Nealy. Neither could be reached for comment.

At Fain’s home in DeSoto, a woman in a suit emerged, retrieved a box of rubber gloves from the back of a Suburban, and went back inside. Later, a locksmith carrying tools was escorted inside to help open a lock. In the garage, agents searched a Bentley that is registered to Price.

Asked why the Bentley was parked in Fain’s garage, Price said, “I don’t know. She has a garage.”

You're welcome.

Nice picture, by the way. I'm guessing he gets a good deal on suits and blazers, while trying to save taxpayer money. :)
