Lawyer Admits To Paying Over $250,000 In Bribes To ICE, FBI Agents
2020-04-30
[DAILYCALLER] A Los Angeles County-based lawyer agreed to plead guilty to shelling out over $250,000 in bribes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and FBI agents over several years in return for special favors.

Edgar Sargsyan, a 39-year-old attorney with law offices in Beverly Hills, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, has agreed to plead guilty to five felony offenses, according to an ICE blurb. The guilty pleas regard his involvement in a credit card bust-out scheme and hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes he gave to federal agents.

The attorney admitted to paying thousands of dollars from 2015 to 2017
...that is to say, on President Obama’s watch...
to a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the investigative unit of ICE, and to an FBI agent. Sargsyan doled out at least $45,000 in cash and at least $32,000 in checks to the HSI agent for assistance with immigration matters.

Such favors included the HSI agent searching law enforcement databases to illegally obtain information that he then passed over to Sargsyan. The HSI agent also tampered with a Department of Homeland Security database to make it more likely that a foreign client of Sargsyan’s would be allowed into the United States, and the agent procured a document with an HSI letterhead in a failed attempt
...Curses! Foiled again!...
to allow one of Sargsyan’s relatives from Armenia into the country.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. This won’t do at all, on either side of the exchange.
