FBI to talk to Rep. Maxine Waters' opponent about tweeting of fake letter
San Diego Union Tribune ^

Posted on 08/27/2018 4:24:11 PM PDT by SMGFan

The FBI and Capitol Police want to talk with Rep. Maxine Waters’ 2018 Republican opponent about a fake letter he posted to Twitter that falsely indicated the congresswoman wants to resettle tens of thousands of refugees in her Los Angeles district.

The Republican candidate, Omar Navarro, said he will meet with FBI agents at his California campaign office Wednesday at their request.

In December, Waters formally asked the FBI and Capitol Police to investigate the letter, which appears to be on Waters’ House office stationery and includes her signature.

It is a federal crime to impersonate a federal official and misuse a federal seal.

Navarro told The Times after Waters filed the December complaint that someone he did not know sent his campaign the letter on Facebook, and he did not vet whether it was real before putting it online.

“I don’t know why they are looking into me since I’m not the one who fabricated the letter,” Navarro said Monday. He said he has not had contact with the person who sent him the letter since December.

Navarro has not deleted the tweet from his account and it continues to be retweeted, totaling more than 800 times as of this week.

What’s the charge?

Thus is totally under the auspices of free speech.

Are they going to go after Dan Rather? How about the writers of the Steele Dossier?

No? Then tell me how this isn’t another political witch hunt?

Uh, it might have something to do with that "(R)" after his name.

Mad Max doesn’t care a bit about her district or the people in it. She won’t even live in her own district; she’s much better than they are, don’t ya know...

Forgery might work. I would think that would be a state crime, however, not something the Obama controlled FBI/Just Us department should get involved with.

It is another Witch Hunt.
Why isn’t the FBI investigating Mad Max for pushing for violence?

No one ever went after Obama and Hillary for doing this.

It's nice of the FBI to get rignt on this, and ignore Maxine's incitements of violence.

It’s disgusting how the fags and pedophiles always only want to talk with the “Republicans”. Mad Maxine can talk all day long about killing white people and the fed boys are scared sh*tless to talk to her. Sissy boys.

Challenging a Democrat with the intent of winning.

Have the FBI investigated Odumbo for this?
