Stacey Abrams caught red handed in multimillion-dollar scams

When it comes to the Georgia governor’s mansion, Stacey Abrams is a two-time loser—but now, she could become a two-time loser in a court of law.

These days Abrams, who lost two straight races against Republican Brian Kemp in 2018 and 2022, barely becomes the subject of one financial scandal before she runs into another.

First, she transferred tens of millions of dollars to a close “friend” who shares her address.

Abrams supposedly set up a political group called Fair Fight Action to fight “voter suppression,” but critics are accusing her of paying off her own debts with tax-exempt money.

Fair Fight Action transferred a whopping $20.2 million to an attorney named Allegra Lawrence-Hardy. He helped Stacey Abrams set up two private, personal businesses. He was also her campaign manager from 2019 to 2023.

Abrams took money from the nonprofit—which is only supposed to “distribute” funds to groups that work for it—and gave her colleague $4 million a year for five years.

To put that in perspective, the state of Georgia only spent $6 million defending itself against Abrams that whole time.

To make matters dirtier Allegra Lawrence-Hardy’s law firm—Lawrence & Bundy LLC—has offices located at 1180 W. Peachtree St. NW, Suite 1650, in Atlanta.

So do at least two businesses owned by Stacey Abrams: Davis Hall LLC and Hall Davis LLC.

Investigators say the entire thing stinks to high heaven.

“At a minimum hiring her friend as lead attorney presents a glaring conflict of interest, because Abrams’ close association with both the Fair Fight case and her friend provided an opportunity to enrich her friend through the nonprofit’s litigation,” said Paul Kamenar, a legal counsel for the National Legal and Policy Center. “It may be an IRS violation for waste of nonprofit assets, as well as self-dealing and other ethical and legal breaches.”

That’s just one scandal, involving her donors’ money.

The second financial scandal is much worse: It involves your money—and she far higher sums.

Before Joe Biden checked out (of the White House, anyway), Abrams cashed in.

The Biden administration gave $2 billion to Power Forward Communities, a group that was all of three months old at the time of the grant and had just $100 in the bank when the Biden administration dropped billions of your tax dollars into its bank account.

What’s more, the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund gave out only eight grants in April 2024—including this one.

Power Forward Communities was founded in October 2023 as part of a coalition of groups led by the left-wing environmentalist group Rewiring America. Rewiring America’s senior counsel is Stacey Abrams.

“Thrilled to be part of @rewiringamerica and the Power Forward Communities coalition,” gushed Abrams in a social media post at its formation. “We are building a future where everyone, regardless of income or place, can thrive.”

Abrams has certainly lived high on the hog off federal grants and subsidies, even after Joe Biden packed up his autopen and left office.

“We suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air just to take advantage of this” Green New Deal handout, said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

“This wasn’t about climate, it was about political payoffs. It provided a lucrative job to twice failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams who has little to no knowledge of energy policy. Notably, she spent over $126 million on Democrat campaigns over the last 5 years,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. “She has little to no knowledge of energy policy.”

“They are using this process to bypass Congress, because no one would put their name on a bill to give Stacey Abrams billions,” testified Daniel Turner of Power the Future, a group dedicated to fighting the Green New Deal.

That’s just the latest of Abrams’ endless financial scandals. The New Georgia Project (NGP), which Abras set up to register voters for state elections beginning in 2013 together with its sister organization, the New Georgia Project Action Fund (NGPAF), broke state law, according to regulators.

The Georgia State Ethics Commission slapped Abrams’ group with the largest fine in the history of the state of Georgia: $300,000. After the two failed to disclose $4,216,783.07 in campaign contributions and $3,200,449 in campaign expenditures.

Stacey Abrams can’t win an election—but she hit the jackpot by cashing in on political donations from Democrats around the state and taxpayers across the country.

Do you think it’s time someone cut off the gravy train?
