Shimkus to testify before ethics panel
POSTED: 10/12/2006 10:06 am
COLLINSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Republican Congressman John Shimkus from Collinsville says he'll gladly testify before the House ethics committee about his handling of electronic messages related to the congressional page scandal.
Shimkus says he has nothing to hide, and he tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he'll appear tomorrow before the committee.
That panel isn't only investigating former GOP Congressman Mark Foley's inappropriate and sometimes salacious electronic messages to former pages, but whether House officials covered up Foley's come-ons.
Shimkus heads the board overseeing the page program.
He says he had no reason to suspect Foley further when he questioned the Republican last year about suspicious e-mails.
Shimkus says he'll cooperate with an F-B-I investigation separate from the congressional inquiry.

I don't think Freeh is working on this. I've heard nothing since Pelosi nixed his participation.
It would be interesting to know who is being interviewed besides the players on a superficial level that are already known.
