The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh, a longtime friend of Mr. Obama's, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.
Mr. Walsh, who served in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2005, was endorsed by Mr. Obama in his county executive election bid. With the support of some of Mr. Obama's U.S. Senate volunteers, he easily defeated incumbent Republican Joseph Mikan.
Will County auditor Steve Weber confirmed that his office had been asked by the FBI to assist in an investigation, but he did not elaborate on the specifics.
Two FBI agents out of Chicago reportedly spent more than an hour in the Will County offices on Wednesday morning.

*snort*
it’s how I see him too so it astounds me how so many people have been duped
a vote for obama is a vote for racism, sexism, and anti Americanism.
Biggest danger to this country right now
we don’t even know if he is American or born here as he won’t release his birth certificate
Why isn’t the FBI investigating this or the justice dept
Hussein sure has a lot of corrupt Chicago buddies.
Scary Barry - if he gets in we are doomed...for the foreseeable future.
interesting how fast this was taken off Drudge. He put in on the far lower right side and its already off just a couple hours later while other stories have been in place for days...
IMHO, he is making it much closer than it needs to be in Ohio. Hopefully, it's because he is spending his time, talent, and treasure more effectively in other states.
It also occurred to me last night that Palin, if unleashed, could really help seal the deal in WI and MN. These are states with a history of being fed up with corruption. What's more, the farmers should have had a good year with the high prices, thanks to biofuels. Finally, how many people in WI moved there precisely to get away from Obama's brand of Chicago corruption?
Bloggers on another site are claiming Obama is neck-deep in financial support from ethanol producers (like I’m sure KNOW THIS Obama friend).
I’m sure President Obama will have somebody’s ass for this. He might just dismiss all the U.S. Attorneys for good measure.
Why play poker with poor people?
Hmmm....I'd like to hear Bawney Fwank say that three times, fast.
Here's why: http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html
This is not the Larry Walsh, or the Matt Ryan that I have known all of these years.....
Good grief.
or...”I wasn’t present when he did anything wrong.”
Fixed.
Consider for Barry the elements of a Senate censure....
You don't know the Clintons very well, noob...
Thanks for the link but my firewall blocks tinyurl sites for some reason. Democrat Culture of Corruption.
Another shady friend of Obama.
“... We will create a network here,” Walsh added”
Hope the FBI is looking at the entire ‘network’!
“Hey, you have to cut me some slack here, at least my friends aren’t dying off like Clintons were.”
Yep. He just keeps them on the Taypayer Funded Payroll! Grrrrr!
Sarah! Save us!
We need to send this info to Rush and Sean ASAP. I think Rush actually reads his email from his 24/7 subscribers. The rest probably just sits there. Any 24/7 subscribers out there that can pass this along?
