Previously undisclosed e-mail messages turned over to the F.B.I. and Senate ethics investigators provide new evidence about Senator John Ensign’s efforts to steer lobbying work to the embittered husband of his former mistress and could deepen his legal and political troubles.

The messages are the first written records from Mr. Ensign documenting his efforts to find clients for Mr. Hampton, a top aide and close friend, after the senator had an affair with his wife, Cynthia Hampton. They appear to undercut the senator’s assertion that he did not know the work might involve Congressional lobbying, which could violate a federal ban on such activities by staff members for a year after leaving government.

The e-mail messages also hint at what Mr. Ensign’s office now says was an effort by the Las Vegas firm, a small energy investment business called P2SA Equity, to improperly link Mr. Ensign’s possible assistance to a promised donation.

The F.B.I. and the Senate Ethics Committee are investigating whether Mr. Ensign, in trying to contain the fallout from his affair with Ms. Hampton, conspired to find lobbying work for her husband despite the federal restrictions. They are also examining a $96,000 payment Mr. Ensign’s parents made to the Hamptons.

He's going to make the ex-ReTHUG Massa's scandal look tame.

be the case, at least so far. I'm totally disgusted with most of them, as usual.

Ensign...let's wait a year!

Fucking ridiculous.

that this he's coming under scrutiny again.

with the FBI and he clearly violated ethics rules.

This one I won't miss. He's not up for reelection in November but maybe he'll have to resign.

It's gettin' so a guy can't boink his aide, bribe her husband with a job and money, and break ethical rules and federal law anymore. Don't these people understand that Ensign comes from a very rich family, and that he's a Republican? Let's just sweep this under the rug and forget about it, mmmmkay?

Oh, and Family Values!

for the hush money :rofl:

FAMILY, FAMILY, FAMILY!!!
