Hope not! Obama is going to have to get himself elected president so he can pardon his little buddy, Kwame, sometime down the road. LOL!

Republicans are the party with a culture of corruption. Nancy Pelosi said so. Would she lie?

Can’t believe these good Democrats are in trouble.

My brother (shudder) is working for Obama in that county. I am quite disappointed in his political choices, but he is entitled to making mistakes I suppose.

I can’t believe Nazi would say such a thing when it’s her party that is supported 100% by the union thugs. LOL!

Federal investigators sought documents regarding public construction projects, including a county administration building and a new juvenile court and jail, according to a federal search warrant .... Agents also sought information about home remodeling projects at Mr. Dimora’s and Mr. Russo’s houses, county government hiring practices and “Cuyahoga County employees working on political party business during normal business hours,

Both Mr. Dimora and Mr. Russo have declared their innocence. "We did not have sex in those housing projects or any of those buildings.

there were a few problems brought to light in Gary, IN , too during the Dem primary, which DEM Officials themselves raised. Hopeful U.S. attorney there isn’t too intimidated by the MSM/Dem -manufactured DOJ appointment “scandal” to follow through.

No question Cuyahoga County has been a cesspool of corruption for years. But the most this investigation will do imo is to cause a distraction.

The 'rats of Cleveland are used to corrupt party hacks, union thugs and insiders with the controlling financial interests. Plus most of them are Black and care nothing about the Dimoras and Russos. They will turn out for Obama as usual.

Tha being said, it is good to see the FBI backing the U-Haul trucks up to Dimora's house and carrying off thirty crates of stuff. Let's just hope they get this one right and don't screw it up.

You gotta realize that here in San Francisco we still have fond memories of a of a guy named Eddie and his pal Carmine. Eddie bought the local football team and made them winners.

Eddie got is money from his dad who used to build shopping malls in Northeast Ohio. Sometimes there were glitches - problems with construction or permits. Word has it that sometimes the strangest things were found when the snow piles at the malls melted in the springtime.

Nancy's own family were active in Delaware democratic politics when she was a child. She has a view of corruption that is shall we say different from what you or I might see.

If anybody knows of any significant difference between democrat party politics and organized crime I'd be glad to know.

I’m hoping for the Daily Double: The Cuyahoga crooks and Marc Dann having to resign for rampant sexual escapades within his office (Ohio Attny. General). I think there are issues there for the Republicans to exploit.
