The Detroit News: Republican senator wants U.S. DOJ to probe Whitmer's ties to Beydoun
Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt asked the U.S. Department of Justice on Monday to investigate Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's connections to businesswoman and political donor Fay Beydoun.
On May 6, state Attorney General Dana Nessel charged Beydoun of Farmington Hills with 16 felonies, alleging Beydoun had misused a $20 million taxpayer-funded grant
Well, the money trail is certainly there and it all point to Beydoun heavily investing in Democrats.
Beydoun gave heavily, as in tens of thousands of dollars to Democrat politicians and political organizations. Including $10,500 to the Michigan Democratic State Central Cmte (D), Over $7,500 in multiple donations over time to Gretchen Whitmer's campaign coffers directly and another $7,500 to her campaign committee.
That kind of money buys access.
Its not just that politicians can be bought its how cheaply they can be bought.
That roughly 15k in direct contributions to Gov Whitmer and her campaign helped get Beydoun a $20 million dollar grant that she promptly misused.
Heckuva return on political corruption, that.
