(H/T – Bryan I really need to remember to check the author; sorry about that)
Fox News is reporting that the FBI and the IRS searched the Alaska home of Sen. Ted Stevens (“R”-AK), presumably as part of an investigation for exchanging federal contracts for bribes from VECO Corp, Alaska’s largest oil-field engineering firm. They also note that the remainder of Alaska’s Congressional delegation, Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Don Young (also “Pubbies”), are entangled in this mess.
Given that then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert decided that congeniality was the better part of either the law or partisanship and condemned the investigation into corruption on the part of William “The Freezer” Jefferson (D-LA), I expect nothing less from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. </sarcasm> Of course; he won’t do it, but not because of a sense of respect for the law; he’ll see it as a way to get another seat or two for his party. Neither would current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should Young get further emeshed in this, and for the same reason.
Great fucking job, RINOs, from Stevens to Hastert. </sarcasm_dripping>
