Feds raid home of Rep. Weldon’s daughter.
“Federal agents raided the home of the daughter of U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) and his longtime friend Charlie Sexton this morning,” the Philidelphia Inquirer reports. “The agents departed Karen Weldon’s home…with arms loaded with boxes.” The FBI is investigating whether Rep. Weldon “used his influence to help his daughter, a registered lobbyist, win consulting contracts.”

Good.

October 16th, 2006 at 2:31 pmStick a fork in him, he’s “Well-done.”
October 16th, 2006 at 2:32 pmJust two weeks ago, Weldon chided reporters saying there was absolutely no investigation going on. Right, and Bob Ney was victim of politics as was Safavian and Delay. How many times do republicans have to lie in our faces before Bush cultists decide not to support them?

October 16th, 2006 at 2:43 pmDennis Hastert, by purchasing a piece of land and then earmarking a federal highway project near it, increased his net worth from $300,000 to over $6 million. I am reminded of the hissy fit conservatives threw in the early ’90s over whether or not Hillary Clinton made a profit of $100,000 on some futures because of her connections.
Our “liberal media” thought Hillary’s deal was worth discussing, but doesn’t seem to interested in Hastert’s deal.
October 16th, 2006 at 2:46 pmThose who live by the sword shall die by the sword. The Republicans have claimed the higher moral ground as their own but obviously they just wanted to be able to better see places to meet their greedy desires.
October 16th, 2006 at 2:54 pmI don’t see the FBI raiding Harry Reid’s house. Therefore the FBI must have been infiltrated by liberal traitors.
/sarcasm off
October 16th, 2006 at 3:04 pmAll of the DC Republicans are corrupt criminals!
October 16th, 2006 at 3:07 pmWhy does the FBI hate Amurika?

Tell me about it. I live in Chicago and haven’t heard much more than a peep about Denny’s deal but TONS about the $1,500 gift to Blagojevich’s 7 year old daughter.

October 16th, 2006 at 3:31 pmHey Bluedog, Hillary made a $100,000 profit on a $1,000 investment in cattle futures in less than 3 months. Ask any trader what they think of that. Regardless of any investigation, any trader worth his salt will tell you the only way that is going to happen is if you are receiving trading transactions after they are already done.
October 16th, 2006 at 4:01 pmBen,
I think you should read this article about the Hillary Clinton futures trading.
It might clear up some of the misinformation you just stated.
October 16th, 2006 at 4:31 pmThanks for the link dlet.
October 16th, 2006 at 4:52 pmHave any of you asked yourself the same question I did when I first saw this>>>
“Great Job Sherlock! This has been “in the field” for the last month, even saw it again most recently just two days ago. Reporters were asking this question…the cats been outta the bag for awhile and the FBI waits until today to raid the place. Gave someone plenty of time to “get things in order”….files shredded, drives erased….so they’re leavin with boxes of what?”
Is the Weldon family stupid enough to have left incriminating evidence in hard or soft copy?
October 16th, 2006 at 5:10 pmdlet thanks for that link..it actually had a few more details that I did not already have bookmarked. Love the part about how Hillary was allowed to trade at cash levels that required margin calls but none were made. They weren’t going to hassle her because of her friend who was a good customer. Uh, that’s illegal if done intentionally. I know key word intentional. Maybe we should ask Bill for the definition of intentional. People cannot maintain open positions without satisfying margin calls. Those are the rules for 99.9% of people trading. Further Hillary was no more involved in those trades as you or I. They needed cash for legal matters and their boy at Tyson Foods hooked them up.
But again thanks for the link.
