BRECKSVILLE, Ohio -- Agents from the FBI and the Criminal Investigations Division of the Department of Veteran Affairs swarmed the Brecksville home Friday of the former director of the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center.

Agents searched inside the house of William Montague for nearly an hour in mid-afternoon. Gavin McLaren, resident agent in charge of the Criminal Investigations Division, said he could not comment on the raid.

FBI spokeswoman Vicki Anderson said Montague was not taken into custody or brought in for questioning. She said she could not comment if anything was taken from the home.

"We executed a search warrant, but it was sealed," Anderson said. "We can't make any further comments."

It is believed the search was in conjunction with corruption-related crimes committed by convicted electrical contractor Michael Forlani.

Hell under this administration, the FBI doesn’t need a reason. This guy is affiliated with helping veterans...that alone would mean he is hated by the current WH occupiers.

This is fallout from the Cleveland Mayor’s bribery conviction. The Brecksville, OH VAMC was old but in a beautiful parklike area south of Cleveland. The only justification for moving the Brecksville facility to the cramped Wade Park VAMC in Cleveland would be updated wiring for computers and new machinery. Otherwise, the Cleveland facilty is very crowded and parking is always a problem. Becksville had more space for PTSD patients than Wade Park.

Corruption by VA employees should be punished.

They moved out of there? I had no idea. That is a great area that has a blend of commercial on one side of it, and the beautiful park reservation on the other. Only about 15 minutes from Cleveland too.

We drive out to that area all the time to simply take in the scenery.

I don't know if this guy is good or bad, but I'm beginning to believe that the 0bama Reich has decided that "it is time to take the gloves off and show them what a despot can do". I look for more crackdowns, justified or not.

This is why 0bama gave his speech about dictators at Ohio State.
