Political bits

(AP) House Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra has suspended a Democratic staffer over the leaking of the NIE. Only, as Lahood says, "I have no credible information to say any classified information was leaked from the committee's minority staff."

(Delco Times) Come to find out, Weldon's "FBI source" who said the investigation was political has been on his campaign's payroll since May.

(TPM) Jerry Lewis who has spent $800,000 in campaign funds on attorney fees defending himself from a probe on the Appropriations Committee, suddenly fired all the investigators looking into him.

And, I'm going to re-ask a question Cartledge posed way back when. How did it become legal for a Congressman/Senator to spend his campaign funds defending himself in a criminal probe?
