Brian Ross Reports:
Richard Esposito and Rhonda Schwartz contributed to this report.
Despite a flat denial from the Department of Justice, federal law enforcement sources tonight said ABC News accurately reported that Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is "in the mix" in the FBI investigation of corruption in Congress.
Speaker Hastert said tonight the story was "absolutely untrue" and has demanded ABC News retract its story.
Law enforcement sources told ABC News that convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff has provided information to the FBI about Hastert and a number of other members of Congress that have broadened the scope of the investigation. Sources would not divulge details of the Abramoff’s information.
"You guys wrote the story very carefully but they are not reading it very carefully," a senior official said.
One focus involves a letter Hastert wrote in 2003 urging the Secretary of the Interior to block an Indian casino that would have competed with tribes represented by Abramoff.

Over here.
Another "fake but accurate" moment.
My new term for them seems to get clearer by the week these days:
ENEMEDIA
Dan..Dan Rather is that you...?
And a good term it is indeed! LOL, fits them perfectly.
Who? Boss Hogg?! Deputy Dawg?! Dog the Bounty Hunter? If ABC can't name its' sources why are we to believe there are any?
Is ABC admitting that they like to falsely imply guilt by playing with the wording using "in the mix"?
Kinkos not open?
ABC draws the line in the sand.
Let's see who's right.
I'll have to wait on this until I hear something from a more reliable and credible news source. ABC is just a tentacle of the DNC.
I hope Denny sues them, if this story is false. He has demanded a retraction, and they are ignoring it.
or the wonderful old standby as seen here on FR;
PRESSHOLES!
ENEMEDIA
LOL!
Thanks! I checked your blog a few hours ago and you hadn't updated.
""ABC’s law enforcement sources said the Justice Department denial was meant only to deny that Hastert was a formal “target” or “subject” of the investigation.
"Whether they like it or not, members of Congress, including Hastert, are under investigation," one federal official said tonight.""
Need some aspirin after reading that.
Do the dems think this will justify Jefferson or deflect from any supposed guilt?
Sorry, wrong thread..
"Haahaahaahaahaaa."
