FBI raids office of Democrat VA Senate President Pro Tem in major corruption probe | Eastern NC Now

With search warrants approved by a federal judge, the FBI has raided the legislative office and next door business of Virginia's Senate President Pro Tem Louise Lucas in a major corruption probe.  Her business that is next door to her senate office is a cannabis (marijuana) shop. There are news reports of people being taken into custody, apparently from the marijuana shop in which Lucas is a partner, which SWAT agents entered with guns drawn..  Federal agents removed boxes of documents from Lucas' legislative office.

Lucas, an ultra-leftist, is a close ally of Governor Abigail Spanberger and has been a key player in the far left legislation that has been coming out of the Virginia legislature since the Democrats got full control.  That includes taxes, gun control, gerrymandering congress, and other items.

She was once cited during the BLM riots for inciting a riot that led to the destruction of a Confederate monument, but a Democrat DA dismissed those charges.

While Democrats howl about this being a "political witch hunt", the inconvenient fact for them is that the investigation of Lucas started during the Biden administration.
