FBI to criminalize groups that received EPA grants?

Recommended Posts

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

“The FBI has told Citibank that recipients of EPA climate grants are being considered as potentially liable for fraud. That is, the Trump administration wants to criminalize work on climate science and impacts,”  the capitol hunters account wroteWednesday on X. “[A]n incoming administration not only cancels federal grants but declares recipients as criminals. All these grantees applied under government calls FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, were reviewed and accepted. Trump wants to jail them.“

The Appalachian Community Capital Corporation, The Coalition for Green Capital, and the DC Green Bank are just some of the nonprofits being targeted. 

“This is not fraud. This is targeted harassment,” Capital Hunters continued. “The idea of criminalizing community climate work wouldn’t have originated at the FBI - it likely comes from EPA director Lee Zeldin, who today cut all EPA’s environmental justice offices, which try to reduce pollution in poor and minority communities.”

Zeldin’s order eliminates 10 EPA regional offices as well as the headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Of course it is.

You’re talking about someone else, I’m not religious, religions are man made fakes,  catholic, muslims, Mormon, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, things that you stand for.  Indeed

Sounds good to me.  Let's see where the money is going and why.

Let's not assume there has been any wrongdoing.

I always think there's wrong doing when the government is handing out money for special interest groups.

They're being investigated for fraud and payments are being withheld. So not charged. We'll see how it develops if they find fraud. I'd hate to think Habitat For Humanity is anything but on the up-and-up. We'll see.
