Feds Knocked On Andy Ogles' Door!

Israel backs this moron and he supports not certifying the upcoming 2024 election if Donald J. Trump loses. Andy Ogles under federal watch for campaign finances.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) is under federal watch for his actions involving financial transactions. The insufferable lawmaker from Middle Tennessee faces heat.

Only a day after he won the Republican primary for the 5th Congressional District, the FBI managed to do a no knock on his home and campaign office. They seized his phone, computers and tablets.

Ogles, who called Vice President Kamala Harris a DEI hire and drafted Articles of Impeachment against her for the U.S.-Mexico border issue is maintaining innocence.

Ogles is speaking out after the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized his cell phone on Aug. 2, the day after he beat Courtney Johnston in the U.S. House primary race for District 5.

This is according to a post on X by Ogles Tuesday afternoon.

“Last Friday, the FBI took possession of my cell phone,” Ogles wrote. “It is my understanding that they are investigating the same well-known facts surrounding these filings.”

He said that it’s been widely reported for months that his campaign made mistakes in its initial financial filings.

“We have worked diligently with attorneys and reporting experts to correct the errors and ensure compliance going forward,” he wrote.

Ogles added that he will be cooperating with the FBI as he claims to have been doing with the Federal Election Commission.

“I am confident all involved will conclude that the reporting discrepancies were based on honest mistakes, and nothing more,” he said.

Ogles has represented the district since 2023. He is a Tennessee native who lives on a farm south of Columbia. District 5 includes Lewis, Maury and Marshall counties and parts of Davidson, Williamson and Wilson counties.

As the elected primary Republican candidate, Ogles will now face Maryam Abolfazli, who is unopposed in the Democratic Primary, and three independent candidates.

Ogles filed his first campaign finance report more than a week after the deadline, the only candidate in the race at that time to be late in doing so. He blamed the delay on "issues retrieving bank statements". When he did file it, the report showed that the campaign had raised $254,000 instead of the $453,000 it claimed shortly after Ogles launched it. Questions were raised about the $320,000 loan Ogles claimed to have made his campaign, a loan not reflected in any of his personal financial disclosures to the House and beyond his apparent means. In May 2024 the campaign filed 11 amendments to its reports over the past two years restating the amount loaned as $20,000. Ogles said the larger amount previously stated was a "pledge" as to how much of his own money he was prepared to put into the campaign if necessary and was mistakenly included on the reports.

Ogles is a Zionist. 

In February 2024, during an altercation with a pro-Palestinian activist questioning him about Palestinian child casualties in the Israel-Hamas war, Ogles told the activist "So, I think we should kill 'em all if that makes you feel better— everybody in Hamas. Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It’s time to pay the piper... Death to Hamas!" The American Muslim Advisory Council criticized Ogles' comments, claiming that he was endorsing the "extermination of the Palestinian people." A spokeswoman for Ogles stated that Ogles "was not referring to Palestinians, he was clearly referring to the Hamas terrorist group." Ogles would further state that he supported the right of Israel "to punish Hamas on a scale of Biblical proportions, including their accomplices and the facilitators of the aforementioned atrocities. I stand by what I said: Death to Hamas."

In May 2024, Ogles introduced a pair of bills in the House in response to the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses. The first bill, entitled the Antisemitism Community Service Act (HR 8321), would send anyone who has committed a crime on a college campus since October 7, 2023, the date of the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, to the Gaza Strip to perform six months of community service, though the text of the bill appears to apply regardless of whether the crime in question was related to a pro-Palestinian protest. The second bill, entitled the Study Abroad Act (HR 8322), would cancel travel visas for those who have been arrested “for rioting or unlawful protest” or for "establishing, participating, or promoting an encampment" on college campuses since October 7, 2023.
