Another Republican Congressman Under Investigation for Corruption
This time it’s the longest serving Republican in Senate history, Alaska’s Ted Stevens.
Federal law enforcement agents raided U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens’ Alaska home in Girdwood on Monday, hauling off undisclosed items from inside and taking extensive pictures and video. Officials wouldn’t say what they were looking for or what they found.
“All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence,†Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Anchorage office, said Monday. - Alaska Daily News
Tough week for Republicans…
This could definitely be the beginning of the end of the Stevens political dynasty in Alaska, especially given Ted’s son’s own legal problems.
I’m as a liberal as they come but I think your title should have read “Another Man in Power Under Inves…” The reality is that this kind of garbage is happening on both sides of the aisle. It’s about power. We have little they have as much as they want. The problem is we all want more, they have the means to get it.
