Scandal Spreads
Now Speaker Hastert is being investigated by the FBI after having written a highly suspicious letter to the Secretary of the Interior, ostensibly on behalf of one of Abramhoff's indian tribes, to block the building of a competing casino.
I'm sure Hastert's interest in the minutia of indian casino construction was purely innocent. I'm sure it had nothing to do with contributions from Abramhoff. I bet he writes all sorts of letters intervening in minor matters around the country, and this was just a coincidence that he received money from Abramhoff clients who would benefit from his actions.

Drudge is not a source.
The two accounts are not inconsistent.
We, however, are not interested in arguing with you. The failure of your leaders will be the only thing that will convince you that their is no empirical benefit to conservatism. Nothing we can say will change your mind, so we give up. Believe in your retarded Texan leader all you want, see if we care.

I am inclined to believe that all congressmen are guilty, so I am pleased that the FBI is investigating them.
Have you noticed how many politicians are poor on entering office and rich upon leaving? They don't make that money on their Congressional salary.
However, if ABC's original report and their report on the DoJ denial of that story are "not inconsistent," then the remaining "consistency" has little meaning.
