NJ Advanced Media ^ | December 3, 2018

Posted on 12/03/2018 2:53:23 PM PST by SMGFan

FBI agents raided the home of Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam just before 8 a.m. Monday morning, the agency confirmed to NJ Advance Media.

At least a dozen agents were seen going in and out of the Ohio Avenue home Monday morning, removing more than 10 boxes. An FBI spokeswoman at the scene said both FBI and IRS agents were involved in the search of home.

“We can confirm that our agents were executing search warrant at the home of Mayor Frank Gilliam,” said Doreen Holder, a public affairs specialist with the FBI’s Newark office, declining to comment on the reasons for the possible seizure of documents.

The FBI raided the Atlantic City mayor’s home. Here’s what the feds have been asking about over the last 10 months.

The FBI has been asking questions about embattled Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam involving allegations of financial improprieties since early this year, several sources with direct knowledge told NJ Advance Media.

Two of those sources said they were interviewed on two occasions , most recently in late summer, about financial improprieties, including the mayor’s alleged mishandling of a $10,000 campaign check, despite the fact he was cleared of wrongdoing by a Superior Court judge earlier this year. The sources requested anonymity because they said they feared it would compromise any federal inquiry and because of concerns about potential reprisal.

On Monday, shortly before 8 a.m., roughly a dozen federal agents from the FBI and IRS descended on the Ohio Avenue home of the mayor to execute a search warrant. For the better part of the morning, they were seen exiting the house with at least 10 bankers boxes and a computer from the residence.

Perhaps it was the sign that said: “Free donuts at the Mayor’s home today”

New Jersey mayor, councilman filmed brawling outside casino

A Democratic New Jersey mayor brawled with a local councilman, a casino surveillance footage released on Thursday shows..

Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam was caught on camera in a vicious fight with the city’s Councilman Jeffree Fauntleroy and other unidentified men outside at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino last month.

The footage shows a group of five men throwing punches, with some of them dropping on the floor.

Gilliam, in a gray suit, is seen going after a man in a white T-shirt, while Fauntleroy pushed another man on the ground.

No, but he has some one writing the exoneration.

Back to the days of Enoch “Nucky” Johnson - political boss of AC early in 20th cent

Nucky arranged the syndicate sitdown in 1929 where Meyer lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Luck Luciano and other mobsters carved up turf and made plans to go into numbers racket in case prohibition was repealed

Made Al Capone go to jail on gun charge to cool things down following that indiscretion on St Valentines Day in Chicago

I always have to laugh when all of these people who get raided by the FBI always seem to have “boxes of incriminating information” stored AT their home. Plan ahead, people. Plan ahead.

Does Doreen have any relatives connected to the DOJ?

If it wasn't for politicians, the modern FBI would have no reason for being?

That should tell us all a powerful message worth acting on.
