FBI, IRS Search Home of Sen. Ted Stevens - washingtonpost.com
by Rattle at 4:36 am EDT, Jul 31, 2007 |
Federal agents searched the home of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens on Monday, focusing on records related to his relationship with an oil field services contractor jailed in a public corruption investigation, a law enforcement official said. Stevens, 83, has been under a federal investigation for a 2000 renovation project more than doubling the size of his home in Girdwood that was overseen by Bill Allen, a contractor who has pleaded guilty to bribing Alaska state legislators. Agents from the FBI and Internal Revenue Service started their search at the senator's home Monday afternoon, said Dave Heller, FBI assistant special agent. He said he could not comment on the nature of the investigation. "I continue to believe this investigation should proceed to its conclusion without any appearance that I have attempted to influence its outcome," Stevens said. "The legal process should be allowed to proceed so that all the facts can be established and the truth determined."

It's just a series of audits. Ha Ha. Rattle wrote:

Well yes. His contractor is in jail, a former aide of his is in jail, his son is under investigation as part of a corruption probe, and "it's just a series of audits." Fill in the blanks, it's not that hard. |
