The United States government this week foreclosed on a lavish property in the D.C. metro area that had reportedly been obtained using laundered money via an ex-president of a West African country.
The Justice Department this week “secured the forfeiture of a Potomac, Maryland, property acquired with approximately $3.5 million in alleged corruption proceeds by the former President Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia,” the DOJ said in a press release.
The property had allegedly been acquired “through a trust set up by his wife, Zineb Jammeh,” the department said.
The DOJ claimed that Jammeh “corruptly obtained millions of dollars through the misappropriation of stolen public funds and the solicitation of bribes from businesses seeking to obtain monopoly rights over various sectors of the Gambian economy,” after which he allegedly “conspired with his family members and close associates to utilize a host of shell companies and overseas trusts to launder his alleged corrupt proceeds throughout the world, including through the purchase of a multimillion-dollar mansion in Potomac, Maryland.” more
So what? Current residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. are there through fraud. When will those be foreclosed upon? Or just evicted?
Ahhhhh…. My hometown!
The Peoples Republic of Libtardia!
The entire economy of that area is grifting off the public through the federal government.
Foreclosed because it was purchased with money that was alegedy laundered? Shouldn’t they have to prove it before foreclosing?
Enough about the Bidens already!
GREAT opportunity for Black Lives Matter leadership to scoop it up at a huge discount.
Warning to others who are laundering money for The Party. This is what happens when you’re late on the 10% for The Big Guy.
So shaking down companies and setting up monopolies in distant lands by leaders in those lands is against U.S. law?
Maybe we can enlist the aid of some dick tater overseas to come and straighten out OUR mess.
What they don’t tell is that it cost the US taxpayers 10 million to foreclose on a 3.5 million property.
Now do Hunter, Frank and Joe Biden… I dare ya

There was a time, when we could shoot traitors, that talked like that.
Is he the Nigerian prince who offered to give me 57M USD?
Given the criteria DOJ used, when will they foreclose on the Biden’s, Obama’s and Clinton’s properties?
Or are there levels of Corruption that limit the DOJ and FBI enforcing the law.
Oh wait, I forgot there’s the two tiered Justice system for the corrupt elite US Politicians, their families and major donors. My Bad !
‘The Gambia’? You gotta be shitting me…
Right? From now on, I’m The MJA.
Brandon’s DOJ? He must have donated to the GOP. They certainly wouldn’t go after progtard launderers.
