DoJ Subpoenas Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) for Docs in Abramoff Case

Share article:

The Hill has today’s story. The BRAD BLOG reported on Ney up to his eyeballs in the Abramoff investigation recently, and last May when it was reported that he was under investigation by the DoJ.

But we found the following phrase, in today’s report, had a somewhat familiar ring to it…

Ney said he could not comment on the specifics of the DOJ investigation.

“I believe…that although the government’s investigation of Mr. Abramoff has been well-publicized through other sources, it is inappropriate for my office to comment in any detail about an ongoing investigation,” he said.

…Hmmm… Now where have we heard that same phrase recently? These guys are getting a lot of use out of those words lately!

    You’ll be commenting pretty damn soon, Bob! It will be something on the order of, "These charges are false, and I’ll prove it in court."

    Ney has not been informed that he is the subject of any investigation, according to his spokesman, and said he would cooperate with the probe.

    Does that mean he’s a target?

    didn’t Rove’s lawyer say he wasn’t a subject of an investigation as well…. hmmm, seems kind of funny that Ney’s spokesman deemed it important to put that in the record. That stragety worked so well for Rove.

    "Democrats cleaned up big in off-year elections from New Jersey to California, sinking the candidate who embraced President Bush in the final days of the Virginia governor’s campaign. They also turned back all four of GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s efforts to reshape state government. " (link here).
