MEDIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- The FBI raided the homes of Rep. Curt Weldon's daughter and a close friend Monday as it investigates whether the congressman improperly helped the pair win lobbying and consulting contracts.

Agents searched four locations in the Philadelphia area and two in Jacksonville, Florida, said Debbie Weierman, an FBI spokeswoman in Washington. The congressman's home and his offices were not among the locations searched, she said.

Earlier Monday, Weldon called the investigation politically motivated and called the timing suspect. The Republican, who is locked in a tight re-election bid and has clashed with the Bush administration, denied wrongdoing and said he gave his daughter no special help. (Watch how the recent scandals have put the GOP under greater scrutiny -- 1:31)

"What I find ironic, if there is an investigation, is that no one would tell me until three weeks before the election," Weldon said at an appearance in Media. "This incident was 2½ years ago."...

The timing is, in fact, very suspect. :shock:

 

[Mr.Clover]

"denied wrongdoing"

"This incident was 2½ years ago"

LOL!!!

Bring that whiggamoore down like the scandalous scum of the earth he is!

Wrong!

The fact that the investigation is 3 or 4 weeks before an election has nothing to do with nothing. Ya, like someone with special powers waited to sic the FBI on Weldon is totally preposterous!

Sh!t happens and when you gotta go you gotta go, period!

 

[Mr.Clover]

"he fact that the investigation is 3 or 4 weeks before an election has nothing to do with nothing."

This statement is a double negative. So your saying there is something suspicious with the timing.

Wow, Kidrocks and Captain America agree on soemthing.

he has repeatedly said a secret military unit called "Able Danger" used data-mining to link four September 11 hijackers to al Qaeda more than a year before the attacks

Note to all Republicans don't be saying 911 could've been prevented or even imply it could've been all planned. The FBI will come and get ya right at the perfect time and no, it doesn't matter if your replaced by a Dem. You're all expendable.

Wow, Kidrocks and Captain America agree on soemthing.

Now THAT would be a miracle.

But I do enjoy reading him, none the less.

You're looking at a "kinder, gentler" Captain America these days.

Timing? Since when does the Media or the Democrats have any say in when someone's home is searched?

Let's be fair, shall we? The next question is which Republican will be next????

I suppose you do make a good point sir. Certainly we shouldn't rush information nor hold it back simply because it's around election time.

They say "When it rains, it pours." Looks like a lot of stormy weather for the GOP.

 

[Mr.Clover]

How do you know we meant the media or the democrats, hmmmm?

oops! You just blew your cover!

 

[Captain America]

I blow the covers every night! :mrgreen:

Then I pull them up over my wife's head. We call that a "dutch oven." :rofl

 

[Mr.Clover]

...


I'll pretend I didn't read that.

Do you think Weldon will use the "alcohol" card like his chums have?

I liked what you wrote about "when it rains it pours" but in this instance it seems more like a Tsunami than a storm. Wave after wave from sea to shining sea.

I posted a few days ago that Weldon was being investigated by the FBI, and the Bushneviks here ranted about me engaging in a witch hunt. Looks like the Bushneviks are still in a state of denial when it comes to corruption.

How about all of them? In being all of congressional members, senators and congressmen alike? Clean house if you will.
They're all dirty one way or another; and by dirty I mean abuse of thier powers for thier own personal gains.

Don't leave the dems out, they're just as corrupt. I've said it a million times, the flip sides of the same dirty coin.

FINALLY we agree on something. As far as I'm concerned, every single incumbent in congress(whether dem or rep) needs to be investigated thoroughly and whoever has broken any laws, even if their mere senate rules, that congressman needs to be impeached.
