Congressional Corruption continues under Democrats

Back on June 22nd 2008 I blogged about sweetheart loans that Democratic Senators Dodd and Conrad received through the VIP Countrywide program.
Since that time both Senators have been cleared of any wrong doing by their buddies on the Senate Ethics Committee.
Finally Democrats in the House of Representatives have stopped blocking an investigation into Countrywide. They have finally issued far reaching subpoena’s.
Believe it or not,
The subpoena’s relate to a wide range of government employees – including members of the executive branch, House members and staffers, officers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and employees of state and local governments. Senators will not be included in the House’s investigation.
The subpoena specifies that the ethics committee will receive and redact all documents that identify members of the House.
It took over a year but the Democrats finally stopped blocking a necessary investigation of the Countrywide VIP program. That being said it is corruption at the highest level when the House decides to specifically NOT request information on Senator Dodd or Senator Conrad. Worse yet; the names of corrupt House members will be redacted. Luckily someone from the opposite party will quickly release the names…
Good grief…
