Full Stall Justice: Bad News for Reps Lewis and Calvert = FBI's Still Probing
Well, almost full stall, it seems.

Bad News for Lewis and Calvert: FBI's Still Probing
By Paul Kiel - Nov 19, 2007

The investigation into Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) lives! Or at least investigators were doing some investigating this summer. Roll Call reports (sub. req.) that an FBI agent peeked at Lewis' personal financial records in July of this year, along with those of former aides.

The FBI also took a look at Rep. Ken Calvert's (R-CA) personal records, as they did once before, about a year ago.

The apparently stalled probe of Lewis has focused on his relationship to buddy and lobbyist Bill Lowery. Roll Call notes that the feds pulled records for two of Lowery's lobbyists, Jeffrey Shockey and Letitia White. Both once worked to Lewis, but moved over to work for Lowery. Shockey has since moved back to Lewis again. The feds also pulled records for Lewis' wife, his chief of staff Arlene Willis.

As for Calvert, it's unclear just what the feds are scrutinizing

1. I wish the FBI would continue digging up the dirt on former R congressman Jim Gibbons
who is now our most embarassing governor of Nevada ever!

2. How is it these loose cannons at FBI got past Gonzo?
When I informed FBI central of election fraud evidence in Ohio, I got no reply. I thought the FBI was on a short political leash. Perhaps some professionals are still not compromised since they cannot be fired "at the pleasure of the Resident" like the USAs!
