Another scam resurrected from the dead is the IRS agent. You will get a call from a very terse individual identifying themselves as an IRS agent, badge mumber whatever and they are investigating you for criminal fraud. But first .... to verify we have the right party, please provide us with your date of birth, SSN and address. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Sexually explicit text messages revealed that Kilpatrick had lied during a trial to cover up an affair with his top aide, Christine Beatty, and to hide the reasons for demoting or firing police officers who suspected wrongdoing at city hall. |

Did he sell the water pipeline to one of his Wall street buddy's who now leases it back to the city for a fortune? Did he appoint emergency managers to strip the citizens of their elected government? Did he cut taxes so deeply for his wealthy friends that Michigan was forced to close dozens of schools for poor kids? Did he allow those EMs to sell off public assets to his Wall Street cronies? Did he turn a poor town's public beach into a golf course for the rich with 5,000.00 a year member fees? DId Kilpatrick do something so heinous that he had to apply for disaster relief from the federal government? Do you know Snyder's past? Sorry toots Flint is how the Koch brothers and their ilk want to run the country. We have corruption and we have C O R R U P T I O N. **** you for calling me a liar - bitch. Dig your head out of your ass and have a look at what is going on. You belong to a political party that represents 2% of the country, does not even believe in the concept of government but has you brainwashed into believing they somehow know something about governing. I'll have this argument with you but I will eat you alive you better believe it. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
