List of Members of 109th Congress Being Looked at by DoJ
10-26-2006
Updated: 10-26-2006

The chart appeared in the October 26th, addition of Roll Call. Add Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) to the list, and there are 18 current or former members of this Congress who have been or are under federal investigation.

I would bet that this list will get longer soon...yes



:think:

[Deep13]

1. Let's also list members of Bushco being investigated...

...by the judiciary committees of the 110th Congress.

[Buttercup McToots]

2. Lets just

keep adding to the list!

[IdesOfOctober]

3. I'm 100% sure...

... that that list is incomplete.

: )

[Buttercup McToots]

5. Yes

I would bet that this list will get longer soon...yes
:)

Just thought I would pin it up on the wall and add to it.

[IdesOfOctober]

6. Glad you found that in the public domain...

... that makes some work easier.

Many thanks!

41. A Longer List...

... is, indeed, making the rounds.

- Dave

[DemReadingDU]

7. It will be interesting to see others

who will be added to this list

[IdesOfOctober]

9. There is even one list...

... floating around, which cross-references:

1. GOP House and Senate members in

2. States where their replacement - should they be forced to step down - would be picked by a Dem Governor (or Dem-leaning electorate), as

3. Insurance against stolen elections.

11. Buttercup - two fun provisions in the U.S. Constitution

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_amendment

12. As a "fer instance"...

... take the example of Virginia.

If, speaking strictly hypothetically, of course:

1. A grand jury has heard evidence involving allegations of felonious conduct by George Allen; and

2. George Allen were to "win" the election in Virginia; but

3. Indictments were to be handed down sometime between November 8th and January 3rd; then

4. An Allen resignation from the Senate would lead to

5. A temporary Senate appointment, made by the Virginia Governor, Democrat Tim Kaine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Kaine

Now, it just so happens that the so-called "Friends of George Allen" include none other than Jack Abramoff - and John Warner (the Commonwealth's senior Senator) should really probably think about pulling those joint ads he's been running with Georgie Boy:

Friends of George Allen FEC filings: http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/com_detail/C00344853/

Friends of George Allen whose last names begin with A, as in Abramoff: http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/com_ind/C00344853/1/A/

Ides

P.S. The hypothetical ends with an enormous happily-ever-after if: 6. Tim Kaine were to appoint Mark Warner to fill George Allen's vacated seat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Warner

; )

Stranger things...

[Vadem]

29. OMG! Is such a thing possible??? Is that why Warner declined...

to run???? Please G_d, let it be true!!!! Wouldn't that be the most absolutely wonderful thing to have happened in Virginia since I don't know when!!!! Please tell me that that is a possibility! I'll keep praying!

[IdesOfOctober]

31. Let Webb and Allen dust each other up...

... then Mark Warner gets appointed by Kaine.

Elegant scenario, huh?

Ides

[CorpGovActivist]

33. Dream Scenario...

... but with Warner running ads endorsing Webb, would he accept an appointment from his former Lt. Gov., Tim Kaine?

- Dave

P.S. Does Warner want the added baggage of Senate votes, should he either: (1) jump in late in the presidential primaries; or (2) make himself available for the Veepstakes?

[IdesOfOctober]

4. I'm also 100% sure...

... that the statutes of limitations haven't run on the felonies of other GOP Members of Congress no longer sitting.

; )

8. Rumor in Alaska has it

that Rep. Don Young is also under investigation for his ties to Jack Abramoff.

[IdesOfOctober]

10. Just type in...

Abramoff in the first box, and Jack in the second: http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml

[Tuesday_Morning]

13. that's a pretty long list, I'd say

[IdesOfOctober]

14. It has to be split up...

... by letters of the alphabet.

And it's a treasure trove for those looking into George Allen's "public integrity" issues.

15. I'm here

trying to do my research and they just come on the telly
with the UK maritime warning about Al-Qida...you wait...All those ships are not out there just for
games. That Crazy Man is going to force something to happen...just wait and see...
Now
Back to work..
Ides, I am verry suspicious about some of those names...
I am tryin to cross reference...

[Buttercup McToots]

16. Well

Tobacco loves him...Pharma and
The Trucking Association...
Wow, Thats a whole lotta moola fer a whole lotta peeps.

[IdesOfOctober]

18. George Allen is fresh as the driven...

... s***.

; )

I'm putting my money on a very long indictment of Georgie Boy - with fallout for John Warner for looking the other way.

Ides

[Vadem]

30. I hope it gets John Warner, too--the so-called "statesman"....who

votes 100% for George Bush's policies! It is time we put up a Dem candidate against the so-called "statesman"! It is time for his retirement!

[IdesOfOctober]

32. He *is* reaching that age...

... where "elder statesmen" suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to "spend more time with the family," right?

Ides

[IdesOfOctober]

17. My guess is...

... it will backfire, and be seen for the transparent ploy it is.

Ides

[Buttercup McToots]

19. Soon

Because Webb is gettin` creamed all over MSM.

And hey...isn't this interestin`?

[IdesOfOctober]

20. The harder they spin...

... the funnier it's going to be when George Allen gets sucker punched on something much more important than literary licence.

"And hey...isn't this interestin`?"

David and the other Halliburton whistleblowers may have something more to say on this next week, if I were a betting man.

; )

Ides

(P.S. I am a betting man.)

21. *Snicker*

Read 'em and weep (if you are a Freep).

[salin]

38. any new news on the fbi investigation into the Alaska statehouse,

state Sen Stevens, and US Sen Stevens?

[CorpGovActivist]

40. Depends on the Prosecutor...

... and some are savvier about the political calendar than others.

- Dave

P.S. That graphic looks like the "usual suspects" to me.

[Skidmore]

39. Only person being investigated for ties to AIPAC is a D?

Not one single R is being investigated for their connections to this group? Why is this so?

[Buttercup McToots]

42. Bump

[IdesOfOctober]

44. Set

[IdesOfOctober]

43. George Allen's goons...

... may have helped expedite the investigation into his public integrity practices.
