Washington- Two more Capitol Hill aides who worked for U.S. Rep. Bob Ney have been caught up in the federal bribery investigation wrought by former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Paul Vinovich, who served as Ney's top aide with the House Administration Committee, and Will Heaton, Ney's current chief of staff, have received subpoenas to appear as witnesses and provide testimony, congressional records show.

But at least one, Vinovich, is exercising his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and won't testify at a trial that started this week involving favors allegedly given by Abramoff to a former government official.

Vinovich and Heaton accompanied Abramoff and Ney on an August 2002 golf trip aboard a private jet to Scotland, along with former Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed and former Ney aide Neil Volz. David Safavian, then a General Services Administration official, also was on the trip.

1. Get Going DOJ You Are On A Roll

The walls are tumbling down!

2. Indict, indict, indict - Ney has to go

He really has no options. How many times can he say he was duped by Abramoff before people will see what a dope he is? Support for Ney is waning here in the 18th. If you have dollars to contribute Zack Space can use them. I can't say enough good things about Zack. I support him. I'm one of his volunteers. He's the real deal.

10. Time to flood the stables and bring in new, honest blood!

Congress is awash in corruption (just like the WH and I would bet the SCOTUS). They all need to be purged on election night so that real honest Americans (with no political agenda detrimental to our country) can take over and fix this 6 year disaster.
