Professional Racist Al Shapton's aides are being pressed to hand over the huckster's financial records.
Teams of federal agents swooped down on up to 10 close associates of the Rev. Al Sharpton Wednesday, demanding the flamboyant clergyman's financial records since 2001.Sharpton's former chief of staff said he was roused at his Harlem home about 6:30 a.m. by two FBI agents who handed him a subpoena to bring the records to a federal grand jury the day after Christmas.
Several employees of Sharpton's National Action Network also got wakeup subpoenas to testify before the Brooklyn panel, the rabble-rousing reverend's lawyer said.
The FBI and IRS are investigating whether Sharpton improperly misstated the amount of money he raised during his 2004 White House run to illegally obtain federal matching funds, a source familiar with the probe said.
I'm not sure if it's still in the archives, but when Sharpton ran for president, I immediately called it a way to swindle taxpayer funds.
Looks like I was right.
I wonder how many millions of taxpayer funds ended up in his suits, hair, and endless campaign to get his face in front of cameras.
(And, for the love of God, please make Jesse Jackson next on the list.)
As many as 10 Sharpton associates were subpoenaed Wednesday to testify before a federal grand jury in Brooklyn Dec. 26, his lawyer told the Daily News.
How much you want to bet that Sharpton will be spending some of that charity loot on shredding services?
