Feeding Our Future bribe charges

Sed Farah walked out of the federal courthouse on June 7th. A free man. The jury cleared him of all charges in the first feeding our future child meal program fraud trial. He provided the bribe funds. Now he's back in jail charged along with his two brothers and two other people with trying to bribe a juror the day before deliberations were set to begin. This is more than just a mob movie. This is a chilling attack on our system of justice us attorney Andy Luger says Abdi Aziz Farah recruited fellow defendant, Abdi Majeed Noor to create a blueprint a script for the juror to follow to convince other jurors to vote not guilty by accusing the government of being racist and targeting the defendants because they're Somali immigrants. FBI agents found a juror list hidden in a water bottle in Abd Aziz Farah's home. Luger says they targeted the youngest and only juror of color and started following her at least 19 times in a three day span. The FBI says a suspect vehicle can be traced to juror 50 two's Spring Lake Park home. Just think about that Sunday night before the final day of trial. Our team is here preparing the final days of arguments and these guys are plotting to bribe a juror Luger says the suspects paid a Seattle woman named Leyden Ali to fly here and deliver the $120,000 bribe videotaping her while doing so. Abdul Karim Farah then sent that video to Syed Farah saying watch and delete Luger calls the attempted bribe an attack on our justice system and says that juror 52 made a difference. We will finish the work. Juror 52 started. We will bring these defendants to justice. I'll take some questions. It's not in any of the documents that are in this case yet. And so.
