Two prominent U.S. senators under investigation for corruption by the FBI are apparently being shielded by the Justice Department. Majority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid and rising Republican Senator Mike Lee stand accused of wrongdoing in a bi-partisan probe. Now, it seems the possibility of a full federal investigation is being blocked by the DOJ.
But the Justice Department’s public integrity section — which normally handles corruption cases involving elected figures — rejected FBI agents’ bid to use a federal grand jury and subpoenas to determine whether the accusations are true and whether any federal crimes were committed by state and federal officials. The information involving Mr. Reid and Mr. Lee is not fully developed but centers on two primary issues: “There are allegations, but they are very serious allegations and they need to be looked at by somebody,” Sim Gill, a Democrat who is the elected chief prosecutor in Salt Lake County, told The Times. “If true, or even if asserted, they truly should be investigated and put to rest, or be confirmed.” Source: The Washington Times Photo: RedFlagNewsThe probe, conducted by one Republican and one Democratic state prosecutor in Utah, has received accusations from an indicted businessman and political donor, interviewed other witnesses and gathered preliminary evidence such as financial records, Congressional Record statements and photographs that corroborate some aspects of the accusations, officials have told The Washington Times and ABC News.
Get rid of both of them! VOTE THEM OUT!!!
Government INTEGRITY? Oxymoron.
Kill ALL government politicians and officials. Let God sort them out. Should take the Lord about a half a second to push the button for the trap door to Hell. BYE $#%&!@*S !!
“your sins will find you out.” Numbers 32:23 It is Biblical and IT IS WRITTEN. IT IS GOD’s LAW. Universal not Earthly. We will see justice, it’s only a matter of When. >:D
They should rename the whole department the Department of INjustice, because under Holder, that’s what it’s become.
DOJ aka Eric Holder should not have the final say so over this scandal. If we had a congress worth a damn, this would not stop just because Holder and Obama want it to stop.
then lock them up and any one trying to stop you
They are all in on it.every cover up they cover each others asses.They all have something over each other’s head in order to cover up.
The DOJ is just as crooked as the senators!
time to let the FBI do there job!! Get rid of Holder too
