[Pts5541 5]

I wonder why they did this. Unless there is some suspected wrongdoing I feel like this is alarming:

The investigation into Molina Flynn started before President Donald Trump took office and is unrelated to his immigration-related executive orders, according to two people with direct knowledge about the investigation who would only speak on the condition of anonymity.

They said federal agents are looking at Molina Flynn over allegations that he defrauded people seeking representation on immigration-related matters. He had not been charged as of Thursday afternoon.

I read the article…there’s plenty of things that I don’t know: ex can a sitting Judge still own/run and practice law as a side hustle 😂

 

This fellow apparently still had 2 law firms  after being appointed to the bench.

Apparently they can when appointed as a municipal (traffic) court judge.  Probably related to the fact that immigration is not within the jurisdiction of the municipality that appointed him a judge of traffic court.  It seems the raid might have more to do with his law practice than his being a municipal judge.  More to come I suppose.

 

Hmm, maybe he was not too good of an immigration lawyer.

 

But two people with knowledge of the investigation told WPRI that the federal agents were looking into Flynn over allegations that he defrauded his clients seeking representation on immigration-related matters.
