Investigation of Bob Ney Wrongdoing Said to be Widening

Share article:

Washington Post is reporting today…

Federal prosecutors signaled this week that they have decided to pursue a wide range of allegations about dealings between Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) and lobbyist Jack Abramoff, rather than bringing a narrowly focused bribery case against the congressman.

As long as the investigation is widening into Ney’s wrongdoing with Abramoff and friends, might we suggest the prosecutors look into this part of it.

Thanks!

    Wonderful news! I wonder what it was, after all this time and all the noise we’ve been making, that finally made them decide to dig a little deeper?

    Let’s hope this investigation goes all the way to Diebold and HAVA. The money received by Greenberg Traurig should help to make that connection possible.

    Brad is a hero. If it wasn’t for Brad, Ney wouldn’t be in the limelight at all.

    The Washinton Post article writes:

    "The court filings that accompanied the plea agreements of Abramoff, Scanlon and Rudy accused Ney of accepting "a stream of things of value" in exchange for official actions."

    My God! Americas right to have SOME record of the way they voted is sold for practically nothing and it shows up in The Post as "official actions".

    At least the Rolling Stone got the gist of the story concerning Ney to the public.

    Brad, don’t feel bad, Galileo didn’t get his official recognition for six hundred years!
