The subpoena from a Manhattan grand jury signals an expanding corruption probe of Meeks and two fellow Queens Democrats, state Senate President Malcolm Smith and the Rev. Floyd Flake, who also were involved in separate subpoenas issued earlier this month.

Evidently there are those in the Justice Department that are working around their boss.

These people are to be thanked for their service.

That’s a good point, Holder and his boss have shut down many of the investigations.

They’re just politicians. The article says nothing about their political party. Let’s not jump to conclusions.

Saw that. Mine was tongue in cheek. Thanks for reinforcing the message. It is a delight to see it in the body. I wish it would make it into the headline.

“Democrats caught again!”
