Blogged by Brad from somewhere in Oklahoma (Shawnee…I think)

Need to keep moving, but saw this, and had to stop long enough to let you know about it. Just in case you wanted to send a little something…

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney established a legal defense fund this week to defray costs relating to an ongoing federal inquiry into his ties with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Department of Justice lawyers and our lawyers have been speaking. We will cooperate,” said the Oviedo Republican, who denied Friday that he is the target of a federal probe.

When asked why he established the fund, Feeney said he was being cautious and that it would be used to “demonstrate conclusively that I always have acted with honesty and integrity.”

Heheh…Irony becomes him.

If you’re unfamiliar with the background for this story, a) Welcome to The BRAD BLOG!, b) See the Orlando Sentinel’s article and c) See a few of the stories listed at the bottom of the page at: http://www.Bradblog.com/ClintCurtis for more details.

UPDATE 6/23/07: After years of sniffing at “blogs”, Feeney has opened his own. And he welcomes your comments! Please give him our best regards, and be sure to give his readers a link to our Clint Curtis / Tom Feeney Special Coverage page!

    Who are you going to believe? Clint Curtis, who has taken and *passed* a lie detector test, or Feeney the Weeney who doesn’t seem to want to take one for some reason (with regards to allegations of requesting software to manipulate the results of an election on computerized voting machines.) That’s what I *really* want to know about. You listening FBI? By all means get that Jefferson guy, too, if he’s done something wrong. But f*cking with my vote really pisses me off. No doubt there are millions of other Americans just like me. We demand justice. Once you start yanking on those threads, the whole ball will come unraveled — Feeney -Abramoff –election manipulation. “Holy crap!” you will scream. “How did we allow the whole process of voting become so obfuscated and non-transparent? God only knows what is really going on with those machines, because nobody f*cking knows!” (of course if you don’t cuss, the asterisk is replaced by “ri”) People are entitled to trust their elections and governments. If they don’t, serious changes need to be made.

    WRT the Abramoff junkets:
    Been there. Done that. Duh. Guilty as all the others…

    One thing that helps Feeney is that the bushie Department of Justice Just Us is one of him and he is one of them.

    It has become a genetic mutant foxchicken house, and the rubber has met the road:

    During yesterday’s testimony by Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, panel Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) asked McNulty whether he would enforce such a motion. McNulty responded that he would recuse himself from handling such matters because of an internal DoJ investigation into the U.S. attorneys matter.

    (The Hill, emphasis added). Here comes a recusal storm because the department is infested with loyal bushies.

    Tried posting, politely and according to his rules. Posts seem to disappear on his site.

    So, it is REALLY hard to believe, that Feeney was in on the ground floor of e-vote election theft? Why is that so hard for some people to believe? Helping ruin America.
