Word is, Bilbray (R), CA-50, investigated by Grand Jury for fraud

[thereismore]

allegedly for lying about his place of residence on the registration card. His mother lives in CA-50, but he never did. Needs confirmation. His campaign office is still closed (it's 8AM PST). Number: [phone].

1. So, Hastert rushed to swear in Bilbray,

told the judge in the CA-50 court case that the state had no jurisdiction to investigate any aspect of the June election, and didn't require the U.S. House itself to do even minimal checking to make sure that Bilbray was truly a qualified candidate?
