The FBI has reportedly begun its own preliminary investigation into an ABC News report that West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL) hired an alleged mistress to work on his official staff and then paid her $121,000 to keep her from going public and filing suit after she was fired.

It would be unusual but not unprecedented for the FBI to open an investigation into a member of Congress three weeks before the election.

Wow. This, plus ACORN investigations... are we seeing it start to unravel for them?

[Frantzie]

This jerk Mahoney needs to be fried. The woman is a 50 year old single mother. He was incredibly mean to her on the phone call. Another Dem piece of garbage.

I normally don’t care about these politicians screwing around on their spouses. Especially DemocRATS. They are EXPECTED to do it. However, I heard the audio of this maggot firing his girlfriend today on Rush’s show and it really pissed me off. Like Nazi Pelosi, this lowlife scumbag should be no where near the House of Representatives.

There could be a surge in the national jobs growth due to the hiring of investigators to probe sleazy and corrupt Democrats.

Mahoney's opponent, Tom Rooney

Faxed to his office today.

the audio of this maggot firing his girlfriend

It needs a hallowed place in the Museum of A-Hole-Ery.

No politician survives a phone call like that. If this geek had any sense he would withdraw to "spend more time with the family."

[FlingWingFlyer]

Exactly. I wish the MSM was interested in this. Unfortunately, Maphony is a democrat.

[JennysCool]

Cheer up. The call — by its sheer meanness and smarminess — has ended up being played all over, including on ABC News’s website. This dude is toast.

[popdonnelly]

What we’re seeing here is the Democrat culture of corruption. Of course, to one who pays attention, you see that every day as the Democrats attempt to buy support by handing out Federal money.

[impeachedrapist]

There has been plenty of media coverage. ABC has been all over this story, and CNN, the Washington Post and Detroit Free Press (among others) have all done stories. Look here

If folks are looking for a place to send a few bucks, Tom Rooney might be a good investment. He's a veteran who markets himself as a conservative.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Cool! That call was hateful.

The donkeys are as dirty as it gets...those in DC are the ones who are responsible for the world wide meltdown trying to help bambi become president. And bambi can not run for president ‘cause he is not an American Citizen. Oh boy, is this coming apart for the liars, thieves, felons and the rest of the criminals who are part of the DNC.

[KeatsforFirstDog]

Wow - with all these ACORN, Rico, Democrat fraud investigations, one has to wonder if the FBI will have to start a massive hiring of more agents.

They’re definitely keeping the FBI agent unemployment rate at zero, aren’t they?

Hopefully they use a grapefruit and not an orange

You’ve never been to Palm Beach County, have you? :)

[Pining_4_TX]

Very clever. :-)

[tflabo]

Glen Beck was all over this story today on his radio show. He nailed both Mahoney and the phony hipocrite Dem party about their refusal to confront their own corrupt members. This Mahoney creep is the congressman who took Foley's seat in '06 and promised to run on family values. BARF...

Nancy Pelousey presides over THE most corrupt congress in history!

[odin2008]

Let’s all start a rumor that he is secretly a Republican.
