The FBI and IRS executed search warrants Thursday at several locations in Baltimore, including Mayor Catherine Pugh’s homes and City Hall.
The searches began around 6:30 a.m. Thursday and include the following locations:
- Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh’s two homes in northwest Baltimore
- Baltimore City Hall
- Pugh’s lawyers’ office
- Offices of a nonprofit Pugh founded, and the home of the organization’s executive director
- Home of former mayoral aide Gary Brown Jr.
Several agents from the Baltimore Office of the FBI and the Criminal Division of the IRS executed a search warrant approved several days ago by a federal judge. The agents searched Pugh’s home on Ellamont Road in northwest Baltimore, which she purchased apparently with cash in December 2016 for $117,000 without a mortgage.
The agents were seen entering and exiting the home, as well as garages that may belong to the home or a neighboring home. Agents retrieved a large boxes from the property, some labeled “Healthy Holly books.”
Democratic U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Baltimore issued a strongly worded statement Thursday that nonetheless stopped short of calling for Pugh’s resignation.
“I urge Mayor Pugh to put the best interests of the city and its residents first and foremost,” he said. “Baltimore needs and deserves leadership that is above reproach and which can lead the city forward in ways that engender the trust and confidence of all essential stakeholders. No one questions Mayor Pugh’s passion for Baltimore city and its citizens. At the same time, the circumstances now require that she also provide an example of accountability for those same people. We all want her health to be restored and to now focus on these very grave matters that have everything to do with her personal business endeavors and nothing to do with the priorities of the city of Baltimore.”
Pugh’s attorney has said she has remained on paid leave because she is still recovering from a case of pneumonia. Young is filling in as acting mayor. Three other Pugh aides remain on paid leave, including her chief of staff.
Womp womp woooooomp!
Say, why does she need so many homes? Bernie Sanders should condemn her.
Healthy Holly Gets Booked.
She can write another book called, Prison Polly.
$ 117,000 for a house in Baltimere isn’t much of a house unless it was a steal…wait…
Seen reports that she hasn’t been located and that she’s perhaps fled the state.
Where were the armed FBI breaking into her home? She has been on PAID leave for 4 weeks–plenty of time to destroy evidence (wiped it clean–with a cloth?)
Hoosegow Holly has a nice ring to it.
Elijah Cummings did not write that. Too many big words.
Did she ever win a Maxine Waters look alike contest? I know she already won the think alike contest.
Bernie should be next. Didn’t he cash purchase his third home after he capitulated to Hillary?
Let’s hope this is just the beginning of clearing the swamp.
“…I know she already won the think alike contest.”
…that doesn’t mean anything, @PHenry. ALL the Democrats won THAT contest…
“Where were the armed FBI breaking into her home?”
Yeah, glad we didn’t get tipped off on this one. Booooring.
I had hardboiled eggs & beer for breakfast.
Pugh.

Soooooo …. they find corruption in Baltimore?? Is she white? That would be something new………….. oops … just googled her…………never mind…….
The City’s Demonrat machine is chock full of these cockroaches. The feds are involved now but who sent
the FBI in? Hell, who trusts Them after Spygate?
If Trump’s boys did it maybe someone or two will get
jailed but unless the trial goes before a Fed judge,
out of Democrat hands, the other rotters will protect
them.
There hasn’t been an audit of the city in my very
long memory and when 65 million in school money
disappeared about a dozen years ago they all shrugged
and kept stealing. Many of the people who vote this
slime in over and over have a rice bowl or scam going
that they don’t want busted. For this they keep the
reform candidates far, far away as the whole shebang
falls into ruin.
Where is the Governor? Usually poking at Trump.
Great. Now we’ll get “Governor Harry Logan, as a white Republican running against Trump, are you going to allow Trump to lynch this nice black woman?”
He’s going to end up giving her an award for Excellence in Public Service.
Why wasn’t CNN tipped off??? These guys are slipping. And what happened to the swat team that likes early morning raids, they’ll be upset with this screwed up screw up. SOB this would have never happened if Mueller had been in charge….
Hey President Wannabe Larry Joe Hogan from Anne Arundel, Maryland. . .

The walking distance from Baltimore, Md to Arundel Mills, Anne Arundel county, MD is 13 Miles.
If you move at less than 1 mile per hour how long will it take you to do or say something too?

If she has a valid passport, she can take her money and run to a country that does not allow extradition. Maybe Black Communist South Africa–her kind of people.
This can’t possibly be Pugh’s first rodeo. It seems like criminal behavior is in her blood. So while everyone has to purchase these wannabe literary prized children’s books, the kiddies get to freeze cuz their isn’t any heat in the schools. Add heartless as well.
‘This can’t possibly be Pugh’s first rodeo’ mcn, now that’s epic!
She been ridden by Elijah Cummings for decades,,,
Who else would?
i thought that picture was maxi pad
It’s heartbreaking that there are so many heartbreaking photographs of rhesus macaques on the internets these days.
Why are they all so sad?
Probably the same scam behind fat mike obama’s dumb book.
IRS and FBI got an anonymous call last week claiming she was a Republican…
