Q Research General #21365: We Got Primaries! FL NY OK Edition

Tennessee's former House Speaker Glen Casada and his top aide were arrested Tuesday on federal charges including bribery, kickbacks and conspiracy to commit money laundering involving federal funds.
Their indictments come months after a Republican legislator, Rep. Robin Smith, abruptly resigned while facing federal wire charges that involved Casada. Casada, also a Republican, was not directly named in those court documents, but her March indictment kicked off speculation that more charges would come from the corruption investigation.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Casada and former Chief of Staff Cade Cothren face a 20-count indictment. FBI agents arrested both at their homes Tuesday morning.
The charging document alleges Casada and Cothren exploited their positions of power by working with another unnamed lawmaker to funnel money to themselves using a political consulting firm that concealed their involvement.
The indictment alleges that the conspirators told members of the Tennessee General Assembly that Phoenix Solutions, Casada's political consulting business was run by an experienced political consultant named "Matthew Phoenix."
"In fact, Cothren operated Phoenix Solutions, and Casada, Cothren, and the other conspirator allegedly knew that 'Matthew Phoenix' was a fictitious person and secretly profited from the fraudulent venture," the Justice Department said in a news release.
If convicted, the 63-year-old Casada and the 35-year-old Cothren each face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for certain individual counts. Casada resigned from the state House in 2019.

FBI arrests Tennessee Republican lawmaker, former chief of staff over alleged bribery and kickback conspiracy

The FBI arrested a Tennessee Republican state lawmaker and his former chief of staff on Tuesday morning following an indictment charging them in an alleged bribery and kickback conspiracy.

Tennessee state Rep. Glen Casada, 63, of Franklin, Tennessee, and his former Chief of Staff Cade Cothren, 35, of Nashville, were indicted by a federal grand jury Monday for allegedly running a sham constituent mailing program intended to personally enrich themselves, the Justice Department said.

Both were arrested at their homes Tuesday morning by FBI agents.

The 20-count indictment comes following a months-long federal corruption investigation and represents the first time current or former Tennessee Speaker of the House has been indicted in state history, according to The Tennessean. Once one of the state General Assembly's most powerful Republicans, Casada did not seek re-election this year and resigned as House speaker in 2019 after allegedly exchanging explicit and racist text messages with Cothren while he was his chief of staff.

The FBI raided Casada's home and offices in January 2021, and in March of this year, lawmakers and legislative staff received a swath of grand jury subpoenas in connection to the corruption probe. In March, another Tennessee state lawmaker, Rep. Robin Smith, resigned from her position after being implicated in an alleged wire fraud scheme involving Casada and pleaded guilty to federal charges.

>FBI raided

Beginning around October 2019, Casada, while representing Tennessee House District 63, Cothren, and another unnamed conspirator - also a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives - allegedly engaged in a fraudulent scheme to enrich themselves by exploiting Casada and the other conspirator's official positions as legislators to have "Phoenix Solutions" approved by the state as a mailer program vendor to provide constituent mail services to members of the Tennessee General Assembly.

According to a 20-count indictment unsealed Tuesday, Casada, Cothren, and the other conspirator further sought to obtain state funds for Phoenix Solutions, Casada's political consulting business, and a political consulting business owned by the other conspirator. It allegedly was further part of the conspiracy for Casada and the other conspirator to enrich themselves by obtaining bribes and kickbacks from Cothren, in exchange for securing the approval of Phoenix Solutions as a mailer program vendor.

They are to make initial appearances before a U.S. Magistrate Judge later Tuesday.

Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton appears before federal grand jury investigating corruption
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) - Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton is preparing to testify before a federal grand jury looking into corruption on Capitol Hill.
Sexton, R-Crossville, arrived at the U.S. Courthouse in downtown Nashville shortly before 1 p.m. Monday, just a few minutes after director of legislative administration Connie Ridley. Both had been subpoenaed to appear.
It is believed that the grand jury is focused on a shadowy company that handled political and taxpayer-funded mailings for Republican lawmakers in 2020. Rep. Robin Smith, R-Hixson, recently resigned and pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges, admitting that she and former House Speaker Glen Casada received "kickbacks" in exchange for steering business to that company.

Tennessee House Speaker on FBI raid: Those subject to search warrants on 'administrative leave'
Natalie Allison
Nashville Tennessean
Published at 8:50 am CT Jan. 8, 2021 | Updated 11:40 am CT Jan 8, 2021

Federal agents descended on multiple Tennessee Republican House members' homes and state offices on Friday, collecting evidence while executing search warrants.

At least 10 agents from the FBI entered the Cordell Hull legislative office building just before 8 a.m., fanning out to multiple offices carrying empty boxes with them.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee confirmed the FBI visited the homes of former House Speaker Glen Casada, R-Franklin, Rep. Robin Smith, R-Hixson Rep. Todd Warner, R-Chapel Hill, and former Casada aide Cade Cothren.

According to multiple people with knowledge of the investigation, agents searched their homes.

Warner was just elected to the legislature, beating former Rep. Rick Tillis in an August Republican primary.

FBI agents carry boxes to Kent Calfee''s office at the Cordell Hull State Office Building in Nashville on Friday, Jan. 8, 2021.
House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, said late morning that he was placing some staff members on leave.

"Since becoming Speaker, I have been contacted by federal authorities regarding an ongoing investigation related to the former speaker's office," Sexton said. "I have been, and I will continue to be in full cooperation with the authorities as their investigation continues.

"On the advice of both Ethics and Legal Counsel, I am placing everyone that was subject to the execution of today's search warrants on administrative leave until further notice."

Three legislative staff members have been placed on leave.

Agents visited the home of Sexton's chief of staff Holt Whitt, according to a person familiar with the investigation. Whitt was a carryover from Casada's office as speaker.

Sexton will hold a news conference at 11:30 a.m., according to his spokesman.

Gov. Bill Lee acknowledged agents' activity during a Friday morning briefing.

"I've spoken with Speaker Sexton this morning and I'm aware of the FBI raids," Lee said. "It's certainly very concerning. I know very little about that. There's been no FBI outreach to us but I am confident that Speaker Sexton is on top of this situation as it unfolds."

An agent in the Cordell Hull building on Friday could be heard telling a facilities manager that the FBI was executing search warrants.

An agent stood guard outside the office of Casada, who resigned from his position as speaker in 2019 following a vote of no-confidence from the House Republican Caucus.

Agents were also posted outside of Smith's office and the office of Rep. Kent Calfee, R-Kingston, leaving the offices with cardboard boxes full of various items.

Facility staff were seen using a drill to help agents unlock a desk in Calfee's office.

A spokesperson for the FBI referred comments to the office of Don Cochran, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.

David Boling, spokesman for Cochran, said he could not yet comment on the matter, other than to acknowledge agents' presence at the building.

Neither Casada nor Smith immediately returned requests for comment.

Calfee said he wasn't aware that agents were in his office.

"I didn't have a clue," Calfee said. "I hadn't heard."

New texts show Speaker asking aide if women were legal age

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) - A new text message exchange obtained by NewsChannel 5 Investigates shows House Speaker Glen Casada joking with an aide about whether two young women were of legal age for sexual relations.

That exchange occurred on August 21, 2016, when Cade Cothren, then the press secretary for the Tennessee House Republican Caucus, sent Casada a video of two young women dancing in his apartment. At the time, Casada was the caucus chairman.

"R they 21?" Casada asked..

"It only takes 18," the aide responded, adding a smile emoji.

Casada's answer: "Lol!!! And true!"

He insisted he had no plans to resign.

"If two texts run someone out of office, then there is no one qualified," the House Speaker added.
