September 22, 2005 -- WASHINGTON — Two staffers on a Democratic political committee headed by Sen. Chuck Schumer are being investigated by the FBI for an alleged dirty trick — getting a Republican candidate's credit report illegally, officials confirmed yesterday. "We are investigating the matter jointly with the FBI," said a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington.

Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Schumer-headed Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said two staffers were instantly suspended — with pay — in July after admitting they obtained the credit report of...

Sounds like a story that can grow some legs

Chuckie is branching out from gun-grabber to identity theft...is Bubba Klintoon an advisor to him?

[satchmodog9]

Dpends on whether or not the AG will follow up. Die Chuckie.

[kellynch]

Let's hope so.

[stocksthatgoup]

Dem dirty tricks....Move along nothing new here.

[TNCMAXQ]

Wow, is this getting to be a trend? The Dems did it to Michael Steele in MD too. Of course it's OK when they do it. It would only be bad if evil far right Republicans did something like this.

[Holicheese]

Do we have a growing list of Dems and their staffs who are going to do jail time?
That would be a cool list.

Chuckie was caught using Katrina to fundraise for the DSCC a while ago, too. The Pubbies howled and Schumer pulled the pitch from the website. What a sleaze. Upstate needs its own state.

Schumer is a mega-dirtbag who SO cries out for a perp walk... for so many, many reasons. For now, he will have to mince walk.

Dpends on whether or not the AG will follow up.


Probably not. He's busy investigating the Able Danger scandal.

[Dems_R_Losers]

This shows you how totally terrified the national Democrats are of Mike Steele. If he is elected to the Senate, he will show up their precious Barack Obama every day of the week, and show America what a true Black leader is. Can't have that, can we?

[FormerACLUmember]

Identity theft and secret file theft are a hallmark of rat party vermin, from Hillary's FBI files, to Berger's massive theft and destruction of top secret files in the 9-11 cover-up, to Schumer's identity theft.

[BoBToMatoE]

If you want to know someone who feels they are invincible and needs to be held accountable to no one, let me introduce you to Mr. Schumer and his staff.

[satchmodog9]

Which will be filed right next to Chuckies investigation in the trash bin.

Give the guy a break---Clearly Chuckie has just been spending too much time knocking down old people to get in front of TV cameras to exercise oversight over his law- breaking staff. A little watergate-type espionage activities here or there should not matter if Chuckie had adequate TV face time.

Suspended with pay?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Yeah!
Put them on welfare!
That'll teach 'em...

[Michael.SF.]

two staffers were instantly suspended — with pay

Wow, that will really teach them.

[Publius6961]

LOL!

[RedEyeJack]

"suspended — with pay"

Sounds like they think they can get away with it or...

That they are being "taken care of" to insure they don't rat out any higher ups.

How is 'ol Craig Livingstone doing these days? Did anyone ever figure out who hired him or who he was working for?

[Gay State Conservative]

Geeze....this clown can't possibly think that he might someday be President,can he?
