I'm starting to see the appeal for Republicans to have a Justice Department filled with only the most loyal republicans... wow, we've been rocked with republican scandal after scandal, I've lost track there has been so many... best bet, fire any prosecutors that have any concept of blind justice. ::)
Two senior Republican lawmakers are reportedly under criminal investigation for alleged corruption linked to an Alaska oil services company.
Federal authorities are looking into whether Representative Don Young or Senator Ted Stevens accepted bribes, illegal gratuities or unreported gifts from VECO Corp., an oil field engineering firm in Alaska, the Wall Street Journal wrote, citing unnamed "people close to the case."
It remained unclear what the company may have received in return for the alleged favors, the newspaper said. The firm has won a series of federal government contracts since 2000, including projects to deliver logistics support for arctic research, it said.
The two lawmakers are the latest to come under federal investigation after a series of corruption probes in recent years that sent two members of Congress to prison and resulted in a bribery indictment of another lawmaker.
