PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Law enforcement officials raided the office and home of House Speaker Gordon Fox on Friday as part of a criminal investigation by the U.S. attorney's office, FBI, IRS and state police.

Officials would not say who or what was being investigated, but authorities worked for hours inside the Democratic House speaker's Statehouse office while state police troopers stood outside.

Authorities entered the office carrying an evidence bag and empty cardboard boxes Friday morning. Fox's spokesman, Larry Berman, said state police had asked everyone working in the office to leave, but he didn't know why.

At around 4 p.m., a dozen authorities exited Fox's office carrying boxes and other items.

Pardon my being jaded and skeptical, but is he being targeted for not being supportive enough of obama, for not doing the master's bidding properly?

Or, is this an actual moment of law enforcement and an actual criminal investigation, instead of an inner partisan crackdown?

He wandered off the plantation.

Now he must be destroyed.

My first thoughts as well as soon as I saw the "D" after his name.
