Something that should be investigated...
Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 11:21 PM by Independent_Liberal
Remember Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and his involvement in that intelligence leak relating to 9/11 and al Qaeda back in 2004? It was reported to the Senate Ethics Committee and then after a while it just died. The Justice Dept. looked into it, but they didn't find any evidence of any wrongdoing. I'd like to find out what he knows. We need to do an ethics investigation into him and see if he needs to be prosecuted for treason. While we're at it, Pat Roberts most certainly needs his ass investigated as well. He leaked some information relating to Iraq that hurt efforts to find Saddam Hussein. He needs questioned on all those cover-ups in the Senate Intel Committee. I wonder if Fitzgerald by any chance has him under sealed indictment. We should also check to see if he received any campaign contributions from Abramoff or MZM. I know Shelby received money from Abramoff.

3. It turns out Roberts blocked investigations into Shelby!

<snip>

Before I get to this latest move by Sen Pat Roberts (R-KS), let me remind everyone how Senator Roberts purposefully kept an investigation into the possible leaking of classified information by Sen Richard Shelby (R-AL) from functioning by refusing to recuse himself from the case. This was a leak that "might have tipped off terrorists that one of their channels of communication had been compromised", yet was purposefully impeded by Roberts, thus the investigation ended in Nov 05 without offering any findings.

Oooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
