May 11, 2017FBI activity in Annapolis, Md. has been linked to a GOP consulting firm, the Washington Times reports.
“All we can confirm is that we’re out there conducting law enforcement activity on Main Street in Annapolis,” an FBI spokesperson said.
Local reporting links the site of the activity to the Republican consulting firm Strategic Campaign Group and that the FBI is executing a search warrant. The warrant is reportedly part of an investigation into the firm run out of the FBI’s Washington office and is not considered a local case.
Reactions are all over the map.

So far, it doesn’t appear to be related to Trump.
On Thursday, six FBI agents showed up at the third-floor office of Strategic Campaign Group to gather computer files and documents related to the firm’s direct mail and fundraising practices, Rogers said.
Lindsay Ram, a spokeswoman for the FBI field office in Washington, confirmed that agents were “conducting law enforcement activity in Annapolis, off Main Street.”
Rogers said agents appeared interested in records of his firm’s work on former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign. Cuccinelli (R) sued the Strategic Campaign Group and the Conservative Strike Force in 2014, alleging they raised almost $2.2 million to support his campaign but steered little of the money to him.
“Our suspicion is that this is just a carryover from that,” Rogers said. “I think the facts speak for themselves, and we tried to give the agents all the information they could possibly need.”
Sorry #Resistance…try again, maybe?
