Senator Arlen Spector's staff member is...

...under investigation by the FBI. Jesus, does it ever end with these people!!!!

Vicki Siegel Herson, who is currently working for Arlen Spector as the special projects coordinator, is under investigation for earmarking money that lined the pockets of her husband's lobbying firm. Oh for the love of Spaghetti Sandwiches...

From the article above:

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Arlen Specter has acknowledged that the FBI is investigating whether one of his staffers directed millions of dollars in federal money toward companies that were clients of her husband's lobbying firm.

The Pennsylvania Republican this week released a copy of an FBI letter, sent to him this summer, that asks for help with a probe into "allegations of possible criminal misconduct" by Vicki Siegel Herson, who currently works as the senator's special projects coordinator.

In February, USA Today reported that Mr. Specter's office was instrumental in getting almost $50 million in projects for several clients of a Washington-based lobbying firm, American Defense International, between 2002 and 2005. The firm's president, Michael Herson, is the husband of Ms. Siegel Herson. Up until last year, she handled Mr. Specter's work for the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Have we had enough of the corruption yet? I have!

Comments:
Whats one more investigation of a Republican and his staff?

Whats one more indictment of a Republican staffer, covering for his powerful boss?

Whats one more coverup in a Republican dominated administration, whose coverups are just as scandalous as their illegal deeds?

Whats one more Republican official on their way to prison?

After all, aren't we getting used to the line of Republican officials and their staff, waiting for indictments and trials?
 
Were the democrats this bad back in the 1990's? I don't remember corruption being anywhere near the level it is with the current republicans. It's insane!!

I think the 'Category 5 political storm' is now noticeable on the horizon, Larry! The GOP is going to be bowl over when it hits. I can't wait.
