What Adil Baguirov doesn’t want you to see
It wasn’t enough to force him to resign from the Dayton Public School board by threatening a lawsuit to have him removed for non-residency.
It’s not been enough to show that he has ties to all kinds of people who have been involved in shady lobbying, and gotten a large amount of foreign cash delivered into one of his unreported shell companies.
It’s not enough to flat out call him out as committing voter fraud.
Or watching him do deals with the school board that he had no business being involved in because of conflicts of interest (the CareSource Deal and the Bus deal).
The guy keeps coming back to politics, and now wants to be your Montgomery county recorder.
That’s the last thing you want to do for a guy with Russian ties (and not the kind you wear around your neck) and 5 twitter accounts.
Remember, the County Recorder has access to all the important data that might come in handy if you wanted to create things like, oh, sock puppet accounts, or fake voters, or false identities for foreign agents… (yes, I watched “The Americans”)
Here’s a full list of what the reorder does:
Your County Recorder:
– makes a complete, accurate and permanent record of every document pertaining to the conveyance and encumbrance of land within the county.
– maintains permanent land records, retains them in archival form, and makes them constantly accessible to the public.
– enforces more than 1000 sections of state law in the Ohio Revised Code pertaining to the duties of the Recorder’s office.
– takes great care to ensure that every document received is accurately filed, recorded and indexed.
– serves on the county’s RECORDS COMMISSION which authorizes the retention of county records and determines when or how these government records may be disposed.
– serves on the county’s AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING BOARD* to authorize any purchase, lease, or contract for data processing equipment for county offices.
– serves as secretary and chief administrator of the county’s MICROFILMING BOARD* to authorize any purchase, lease or contract for microfilming equipment in county offices and to oversee the operation of the county’s microfilming center and services.
– collects fees for documents filed in the Recorder’s office and pays these monies into the county’s general fund.
– maintains an accurate record of all monies appropriated to the Recorder’s office for its operation.
– performs all accounting functions necessary to the operation of the Recorder’s office including preparation of annual budgets and reports, vouchers, purchase orders, etc., and maintains all payroll records, sick and vacation leave records and other records pertaining to the Recorder’s staff.
– files annually an ethics report, inventory of office equipment, affirmative action report, depository agreements for funds and every other report as required by law.

And, if you want to read more people questioning our International Man of Mystery- go take a look at this article by Patrick Simpson- who goes as far as to hint at what else Dr. B was doing while getting his PhD in Moscow:
Weldon and Giuliani are not Baguirov’s only connections to the #TrumpRussia scandal.
Baguirov also went to Trump University, and claimed “I’ve attended a lot of these seminars and Trump’s was above average,” says Adil Bagirov, an energy consultant in Alexandria, Va. “It wasn’t the most effective, but I learned some things, and I’ve been very successful,” he says.
Why would Baguirov attend Trump University if he has a Ph.D from Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGiMO), a university notorious for being the recruiting ground for the FSB?

You might also want to look at all his political donations he used to make when he was working for all the shady type lobbyists before he came to Dayton. Let’s look at who is funding him now?
Mostly himself, with a $90K loan, but a lot of his donors are from out of state.
Considering we showed how many things he failed to list on his Ohio Ethics Statement way back– and there has been no public accounting for the offshore money deposited into his Turbillion shell company, how anyone can trust anything that comes out of his mouth- or he turns in as a campaign finance report, is beyond comprehension.
Do us all a favor Dayton, and vote for Brandon McClain for County Recorder.
Our “International Man of Mystery” needs to go away.
From the Washington Post:
“So it was a bit awkward when Azerbaijan’s election authorities released vote results – a full day before voting had even started.
…….. spoiler alert: Aliyev was shown as heading toward a landslide – were pushed out on an official smartphone app run by the Central Election Commission. It showed Aliyev as “winning” 72.76 percent of the votes, although with only about 15,000 votes cast, as Azerbaijani officials later noted as part of their defense that the results had been partial and a test run. That share is on track with his official vote counts in previous elections: he won (“won”?) 76.84 percent of the vote in 2003 and 87 percent in 2008.”
I can see why Baguirov is a bit nervous about photos of him with Aliyev, a man obviously enmeshed in all manner of corruption.
Does Adil Baguirov have no shame?
Adil “The Bag Man” Bagirov
Manchurian Candidate, money launderer for the Russian Mob, or both?
He’s lending himself $90k to win a $70-80k/year job? Is the recorder an office you can run part time so that he can run to DC to lobby for Azerbaijan still? Nothing about this guy passes the smell test.
