Brian Ross at ABC News says that guilty-pleaders Rep. “Duke” Cunningham and Jack Abramoff have been singing like Lemmy about the corruption of other Republican friends of theirs – including the number one recipient of Abramoff money, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert.
“Whether they like it or not, members of Congress, including Hastert, are under investigation,” one federal official said tonight.
Hastert, bribed? No Way! I’m shocked!
No wonder Ol’ Denny has all-of-a-sudden remembered there’s such a thing as checks and balances and separations of power.
The DoJ denies Hastert is under investigation. The DoJ says lots of things.
Could it possibly be that some rogue US Attorney inside this “unitary” executive would actually attempt to hold accountable a high-level Republican politician like Hastert? Is there a chance that the rule of law could actually bind the power of these men?
Nah.
