The feds are not investigating Bill Richardson, just one of his donors. I guess your headline suits your purposes, if not the facts.

Has it ever occurred to you kootr, that IF you were right about these people, you would not have to make up things, twist the truth, or peddle paranoic fantasies about them. IF you were right, you should be able to just tell the unvarnished, verified truth and it would condem them. Has it ever occurred to you that, since you can not do that, perhaps you are wrong about them?

Asked whether the probe focused only on CDR's actions in securing or executing the contract, the person with knowledge of the investigation said, "It is more than that."
Richardson ignored two shouted questions about the company at his afternoon news conference in Santa Fe and left the room.

I think you just described most of the posters on this board, especially the demo side....

Very true! The Messiah could murder their family and the looney left lugnuts would kiss his hand...

Wow, this is going to be an interesting few years. Barry better take that oath so he can shut down all these investigations. I only wish they didn't shut down the Blago investigation so fast. I guess they had to otherwise that would have messed up that person of the year thing.

Fitzgerald stopped the Blago investigation when he did (before the senate seat was sold) because he was afraid Obama would fire him if it lasted much longer. Obama will look bad if he fires Fitzgerald now. Blago (and Rezko) will sing like birds about Rahm Emanuel and Obama to save butts. I suspect the Richardson investigation will come straight back to Richardson himself. Wait for another investigation in the weeks to come.
