Jerry Lewis is toast!
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Lewis (R - Ca.) is in serious legal trouble. There's been alot of smoke, but these two developments today may spell the end of Rep. Lewis.
First, a former businessman/client of Congressman Lewis in an interview with NBC, pretty much said that Rep. Lewis was requiring a payout to a friend, then today it was revealed by RollCall that the FBI has "retrieved the chairman’s financial records late last month."
And this is seperate from Abramoff, and maybe seperate from Wilkes.
From a non-expert view, it appears that Lewis liked to use cutouts in his operations. A briber would pay Lewis or a family member, and the Lewis would arrange for another congressman to do the act, or vice versa, he would do the act, but the payment would go to a cutout.
Clever, dirty, and certain to involve more people.
