McGrath was initially charged with wire fraud and embezzlement from an organization receiving more than $10,000 in federal benefits, and a superseding indictment returned in June 2022 also charged him with falsifying records.

  1. 10,000 dollars and he is dead? The Biden family has received how many millions? They’re still alive.

    • Joe knows that he doesn’t have to worry since he is a Democrat. They don’t get prosecuted; or, persecuted for that matter.

  2. Hard to believe that trained agents found need to shoot at a person that as far as the post informs us did not have a weapon nor was ever in military training, etc. What could possibly cause a trained agent to shoot an unarmed person? Sen. Jim Jordan is right – the FBI needs to be defunded.

  3. Now start going after all globalists and their puppets soros and chester biden and zelensky and demonrat criminal party and rinos criminal party and all the CRIMINAL organizations; fbi, doj, irs, cdc, usps, fisa, tsa, cia, fda, fcc, un, nato etc .
