PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Federal and state law enforcement authorities took over House Speaker Gordon D. Fox’s State House office Friday morning, carrying storage boxes and a bag marked “evidence.”
Rhode Island state troopers took up positions outside the office just before 11 a.m. They were followed just before noon by other investigators, including some wearing IRS jackets.
The troopers would not answer questions about why they were there nor would they allow reporters into the office. They referred questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Jim Martin, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the office, the FBI, the state police and the IRS are engaged in a law enforcement action which included the execution of a federal search warrant Friday morning at a location he would not disclose. Larry Berman, Fox’s spokesman, said he had no idea why the troopers were at Fox’s office.
Meanwhile, the door to Fox’s law office, at 32 Custom House Street, was locked. A piece of plywood had been nailed over a section of the door near the lock.
Homos I care about for the same reason my parents cared about kennedy’s philandering - it leaves him wide open to various security risks not the least of which is extortion.

oops I mean given the RAID
Why does this look like a picture of the winning shuffleboard team on the Titanic?
LOL. Knew he was Rat since party wasn’t mentioned in the story .
True story according to my 83 yr old Mom.
Her Dad was one of the view registered Republicans in the State of RI that got angry enough to run against the incumbent Dems....When the next draft came about...he just happened to be the oldest draftee from Central Falls, RI by at least 15 yrs.
My Mom’s memory isn’t what it used to be and maybe there were other “older” draftees...but the message to her and her family was clear....don’t mess with the Democrats or you may end up on a foreign battlefield. My grandfather had previously served in the Armed Services so it wasn’t a big deal to him at the time....My Mom and her side of the family remain firmly convinced it was “payback” for challenging the status quo.
Now, has some backward Republican state or local office done the same thing ? Probably, because people are people regardless of the (D), (R) or (I) they happened to be affliated with...
RI Gen Assembly makeup:
Democratic (69)
Republican (6)
I’m wondering ...what does the Fox say?

My late father, who had not previously been audited by the IRS, wrote a polite and respectful letter of dissent to Slick Willie. He was audited the next 2 years running.
Liberals can’t persuade with their ideas, so they use intimidation. Whereas the GOPe always lead with the chin.
That’s because you don’t know RI, there’s no such of a thing as a Republican speaker of the house. Never was, never will be. That’s why I left. Couldn’t stand not having my vote count any longer.
That has got to be the absolute worse song I have ever heard.
Another RI RAT goes down the tubes!!
Hooray!!! With more of this they might get to the bottom of the RI corruption in year 2500!
Then it’s perfect for a Dem.
I have a feeling it is a crime way beyond mere corruption. If had just been corruption, Fox would fight it legally or the Feds wouldn't even bother with him. Instead he just announces he is quitting. It must be something really bad.
