[ED NOTE: Rogers has now posted his story, and our suspicions about who the name of the previously unnamed Congressman was correct! See update at bottom of article for more details! Also: The bad code that caused this article to freeze up in Microsoft IE has now been corrected.]
Investigative journalist Mike Rogers of PageOneQ and BlogActive promised us a scoop during this evening’s “Progressive News.” We’re Guest Hosting the show for the vacationing John Scott today and tomorrow on San Francisco’s Air America affiliate, Green 960am.
The man who outed the not-yet-resigned Sen. Larry Craig delivered his tantalizing scoop during our final minutes on today’s show. (Full show details, archive here.)
“A United States Congressman who, while he was living in one place and claiming a tax break for that fact was registered and was voting in an entirely different state,” he told us.
“The person owned the house with another man,” Rogers teased, adding “the man that he owned it with, when you found out what he did, it almost makes this Congressman look like an angel.”
While trying to determine if the crime we’re looking at here is voter fraud or tax fraud (despite expensive GOP propaganda to the contrary, it’s usually the Republicans, not the Dems, involved in voter fraud — just ask Ann Coulter!), Rogers laughed, “It’s voter fraud in one place and tax fraud in another!”
He offered us a few clues to the Congressman’s identity, which he promises to reveal tomorrow morning. “This is not his first touch on voter fraud,” he reported. “I’m not gonna say who…you may be able to guess…but there’s a lot of voter fraud connected to this guy all over the place.”
We pressed harder for the Congressman’s name, but to little avail. The scoop will break in full on Friday at PageOneQ and BlogActive says Rogers.
But he did leave us with one last hint: “It’s not Larry Craig. It’s not David Drier. And he’s not in the Senate, so that leaves you 434.” Thanks, Mike!
Okay then, putting some of those pieces together…Rogers reported earlier this year on a U.S. Congressman with both voter fraud issues and curious domestic arrangements with other men.
Could this be our tax cheating vote fraudster Congressman?
We’ll know for sure tomorrow, but here’s the clip of our last few minutes with Rogers, discussing the above at the end of our interview today (appx 4 mins)…

UPDATE 9/28/07 10:20am PT: Rogers’ full scoop is now posted here. And it looks like our guess was correct! The tax cheating vote fraudster is apparently Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina!
We may run out of untainted Republicans before November 2008. Wouldn’t it be nice?
Mike Rogers kicks ass and
takesgives names.. Now who will hold them accountable?More from the Republican hypocrisy zone, “Do as I say not as I do” – I’m your authority figure here – just shut up – I’ll do all the thinking that needs be done.
One man/woman one vote ? Not so in the Texas legislature, one individual often casts two, three, sometimes even four votes. Although it is specifically against the law.

The scary part is the what they are really doing to the US is in what they are telling the old folk
Sodomites, every last one of ’em
You’re right, Bradster!
The story is posted — Rep. Patrick McHenry!

What kind of cushy job do you think he ended up with? I wonder if there was any pork thrown his way..
He’d better hit on Ann Coulter right away, so she can provide cover for the gay rumors, and the vote fraud – oh wait, never mind.
Could there be a reason the Republicans are so knowledgeable about voter fraud? How about homosexuality? Can you think of any other subjects they’re a little hung up about?
