You have to wonder if this is anyway connected to Glenn Beck’s Refounders. He has anonymous sources that are outing corruption in DC.

No, that's Turkey the country and this is likely related to Sibel Edmonds recent deposition.

I hope to see a parade of corrupt clowns exiting DC because of her.

Scandals only cause republicans to resign. Liberals get even more votes.

Sources are reporting that he is quitting so he can take the ambassadorship to Israel.

Breaking: FBI Investigating Far Left Lib & Obama Chair Wexler For Fraud
EmailWritten by simmobilezinfo on Nov-1-08 4:17pm

Far Left Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) and Barack Obama Florida campaign chairman has allegedly filed 25 amended FEC reports in the days immediately following Bill O’Reilly busting him in front of his Maryland home on camera.

Robert Wexler’s Republican opponent Edward Lynch has a compelling argument that there is much more to this story that needs to be revealed. Wexler’s campaign allegedly submitted 25 amended FEC reports between 7/23/08 (one day after O’Reilly busted him) and 7/30/08.

National Review reported the news this morning:

“....According to a website set up by Lynch’s campaign, Wexler is in engaged in campaign-finance schemes that might amount to money laundering. Lynch even claims that the FBI is investigating. A spokesman for the FBI’s Miami field office told National Review Online they had “no comment.”

Ben Graber, an independent Democrat running a serious candidacy against Wexler and Lynch, has filed his own criminal complaint seeking an investigation.

Lynch’s accusations are as follows. Beginning July 23 — the day after Fox broke the news about the Democratic candidate’s questionable residency — and ending July 30, the Wexler campaign amended 25 Federal Election Commission reports going back to 2001. The amendments removed references to “Newbridge Securities” as a corporation from which the campaign had received funds, replacing Newbridge with a variety of different companies. ...”
