Eagle Bridge, NY — May 15, 2007 — Senator Diane Feinstein served as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies sub-committee from 2001 to 2005. During that time, Feinstein directed more than $1.5 billion in federal contracts to two companies controlled by her husband. She resigned the position in 2005, after her husband sold his stake in the companies. The couple’s current net worth is estimated at between $45 and $100 million.
According to Metro Newspapers, Sen. Feinstein’s top legal advisor Michael Klein has admitted to informing the Senator as to which federal projects her husband’s companies had an interest. Mr. Klein is also Feinstein’s husband’s business partner. One of the companies in question saw its federal revenues rise from $44 million in 2000, before Feinstein joined the sub-committee, to $331 million by 2004. By 2006, after Feinstein had left the sub-committee, federal revenues for the company had declined to $152 million.
You have to love the wall to wall media coverage in the MSM. I can’t seem to turn on the television without hearing this story....
No, wait a minute.... I must have been dreaming.
I’m sure the LA Times will get right on this story.
NOT!
This will get swept under the rug. The most disappointing this is that Republicans will say nothing. The sit idlely by like the castrati they are. Al Gonzales gets much more press. There is no leadership in the Republican party these days.
The Republican Party's purpose is to provide the appearance of opposition without the fact of opposition.
So true. Some of the Candidates have been bringing up dem party hypocrisy, but none are doing what needs to be done while on national TV: pointing out CRIMINAL activity and pointing fingers at the Press, who aid and abet this criminal activity. Spineless bass turds.
Yes, they must be afraid to tackle the popular Feinstein — think they will look “mean-spirited”, the greatest Republican fear.
Investigate her now. Why are they waiting?
Too bad, our man Fred doesn’t mention it in passing........
The Justice Dept is run by Clinton appointee hacks. Their behavior is atrocious and partisan. Look at how they gave a slap on the wrist to Sandy Burger, yet the persecuted Libby.
Moreover, in Congress, the part in the majority is the only one with subpoena power.
Just add another crook to the list in Congress. Isn’t “Refrigerator” Jackson from Mississippi still in office? How about identity thief Chuck “Scummer”? My goodness, nobody could have written this script as non-fiction and have been able to sell it.
Check daily and not a peep...
That's enough money for Feinstein to arrange to have people killed. Ten or fifteen years ago when the Democrats still controlled their monopoly on the selection, spin, and dissemination of the daily news this story would have quickly been spiked forever. Not so nowadays. I think the people working on this story better be very, very watchful. Move around, change routines....
Just part of the function of this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". They keep on fool'in the sheeple thinking their party is there to protect them & each election cycle the 200 million fools vote the same back in. Now watch the immigration bill. See all the signees to it & watch - no consequences at election time.
Look at how William "Cold Cash" Jefferson is still walking around untouched but the FBI kicked down Curt Weldon's door a couple of weeks before the election.
The Bush Justice Department is indeed corrupt to the core. And, yes, that is because Clinton holdovers make a lot of the decisions there, but the buck stops with Bush. The fact that he is a coward when it comes to cleaning up the Justice Department, the rogue CIA, and the communist State Department is a legacy of shame. Oh well....
Ask yourselves why that is. Why do you suppose GW left these hacks in positions to destroy him. Me thinks GW is the biggest puppet we have ever had as president - close to Jimmah Cater. I also think he is going thru the motions, awaiting the day he leaves - as his daddy did. The only thing we won't have to worry about is that the White House furniture will be intact when he leaves.
Well....J.W. is on it. That will take care of Feinstein.
/sarc
Geesh....
Hammer meets nail. Right on.
Randy Duke Cunningham was convicted for kickbacks for far less than this. A congressional investigation is not needed. Like in the case of Cunningham, this can be prosecuted by any US attorney in the Federal District court system.
The Democrats were not in control of congress when these felonies were committed. There should have been an indictment.
