The Justice Department WAS looking at whether or not Sen. John Ensign had violated lobbying rules when he tried to get his former best friend, Doug Hampton, a slot at various businesses after canning him from his campaign.
But NOW, Las Vegas Sun reporter Jon Ralston, who is proving to be a regular millstone around Ensign's neck, suggests that what the Justice Department is REALLY looking into is that $96,000 that Ensign got his mom and dad to 'give' to Hampton as a 'gift.' The Justice Department's Office of Public Integrity is checking to see if that 'gift' was actually an unreported severance payment as an attempt to get around campaign financing laws. If it was, then #307 has not only gotten HIMSELF into legal trouble, but his mom and dad as well. #307 should be used to getting other people in trouble. I mean, remember how GOP Cocksucker #311 (SEN. TOM COBURN) of Oklahoma got in trouble just by making #307 FedEx a letter to Hampton's missus saying he wasn't going to screw her anymore? Yeah. #311 forced #307 to mail the letter, then #307 calls Mrs. Hampton to tell her the letter's coming but he really didn't mean it, he was just trying to get #311 off his back. Then #311 has to answer some embarassing questions about whether or not he's trying to get #307 to pay hush money.
LMAO!
Why is it taking so long? Well, DOJ has learned from when it went up against GOP Cocksucker #97 (EX-SEN. TED STEVENS), screwed up, got a conviction but had it overturned on appeal. It doesn't want to repeat that mistake so it's taking things slowly. Fortunately, #97 couldn't appeal the decision of the voters in 2008, who shitcanned his old ass.
With thanks to Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun and TPM Muckraker.
