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...

A moral Senator would suspend the staffers WITHOUT pay as soon as the investigation turned criminal. Back pay can always be restored.
"Sounds like a story that can grow some legs"
I seriously doubt it.
Maybe they were just trying to see if he qualified for a "loan" from the Boys and Girls Clubs, a la Air America.
Chuckie Schumerde, aka the PUTZ, is an arrogant, lying, thieving bastard. Schumerde is also a worthless piece of fecal matter.
I hope this appears in other papers because too many libs I know won't pay attention to anything in the Post.
Chuckie. He's such a ho.
Maryland democrates went crazy when Bob Erchlik became the 1st Republican elected Governor in over 30 years. Now that Lt. Gov. Steele is running for Paul Sarbanes' (retiring) U.S. senate seat, this has taken on national importance. The DSCC will make a mighty effort to stop Steele. How bad would it look when a Republican wins the senate seat in a state where democratic voters outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
And needless to say, his win will add to the Republican majority in the senate.
Hope these critters go to jail. Hope they can prove old Chucky was aware of this -- lol. Would like to see him in jail too.
Thanks for saying a version of what I was thinking:)
Do not wait with bated breath, the MSM gives a collective yawn if it can't hurt Bush and conservatives.
Dirty tricks are the "cooling saucer" of Democrat politics.
Chuck "the Schmuck" Schumer's boys did this? I'm shocked!
This is why the Democratic party and liberals in general is spinning down the drain - I call it a lack of logical continuity. They seem to have concluded that it is OK to do anything, including "evil", in order to stop what they consider to be evil. This question was posed and answered incorrectly by that bastion of clear thought, high ethics and conservative ideals, Oliver Stone in the film Platoon. He suggested that the only way to overcome evil is to become evil.
Liberals have concluded that conservatives are evil and must be defeated and that anything is acceptable to meet this end. The problem is that they use same irrational thought process to conclude that they are always in the right, and therefore, justified. As I recall, most all of the world’s tyrants have applied pretty much the same illogic.
(And before I nailed for wishing death upon someone...my 'version' of this wish....is that it results in his POLITICAL death. Not his actual demise.)
BUMP
So can we call the Dem party "Tyrants in Training"?
This is separate from Steele?
Wow....implosion alert!
Since we don't have an AG who will follow this up it is likely to become a normal MO for Dems. Why not use the power you are allowed to keep?
