Hastert investigated

ABC is reporting that the FBI is investigating Dennis Hastert:

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert, is under investigation by the FBI, which is seeking to determine his role in an ongoing public corruption probe into members of Congress, ABC News has learned from high level government sources...

Part of the investigation involves a letter Hastert wrote three years ago, urging the Secretary of the Interior to block a casino on an Indian reservation that would have competed with other tribes.

The other tribes were represented by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff who reportedly has provided details of his dealings with Hastert as part of his plea agreement with the government.

The letter was written shortly after a fund-raiser for Hastert at a restaurant owned by Abramoff. Abramoff and his clients contributed more than $26,000 at the time.

A thought just occurred to me. Perhaps the FBI can find dirt on ALL of the existing members of Congress and the Senate, both Rethuglicans and the lame inside-the-beltway Dems. That would just sweep them all away in one fell swoop. Talk about a breath of fresh air!
