Massive FBI Investigation Targets Kitzhaber
February 14, 2015
By Taegan Goddard


A federal grand jury has launched a sweeping investigation of Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) and fiancée Cylvia Hayes, the Oregonian reports.

“The subpoenas shed light on what looks to be the largest criminal investigation of a public official in Oregon… Investigators are after any state record mentioning Hayes, her private consulting business and her role in the governor’s office. They want her personal tax returns and those of her company dating back to 2009. The state also must turn over records of her use of state credit cards.”

Kitzhaber announced he would resign from office next week.

Seems to me that Repubs get a pass from the FBI..
Isn't any of Christie's crimes worthy of FBI scrutiny?

The Feds can start with Christie and work their way to Snottie Scottie, Joe Arpaio, the Sheriff of Nottingham Maricopa Co, AZ, and so on, and so forth.

We have two individuals being looked at for specific wrongdoing. I doubt the FBI considers this their top priority - probably not in their top 100, although their local office may be busy with it.
