Back in July, the White House cut a deal with McCain:

The president would appoint ethics lawyer and reform advocate Ellen Weintraub to one of the three Democratic positions on the six member Federal Election Commission; in exchange, …..

—-> McCain would stop holding up a slew of Bush judicial and administrative nominations he had been blocking for leverage.

The Weintraub appointment was seen as crucial by reformers since the FEC was in the process of deciding the specifics ….of how McCain-Feingold — reluctantly signed into law by the president last spring — would be implemented.

Where will the investigative trail lead next?
