Add another one to the list. When this Republican congress meets up for a reunion, they’ll all be wearing prison blues at this rate.
You’ll remember Curt Weldon as the Republican congressman with the crazy conspiracy theories. Crazy Curt thinks that there are still WMDs in Iraq. Crazy Curt thinks that Bill Clinton put out a hit on him.
Crazy Curt may be a crook.
The Justice Department is investigating whether Republican Rep. Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania traded his political influence for lucrative lobbying and consulting contracts for his daughter, according to sources with direct knowledge of the inquiry.
The FBI, which opened an investigation in recent months, has formally referred the matter to the department’s Public Integrity Section for additional scrutiny. At issue are Weldon’s efforts between 2002 and 2004 to aid two Russian companies and two Serbian brothers with ties to strongman Slobodan Milosevic, a federal law enforcement official said.
The Russian companies and a Serbian foundation run by the brothers’ family each hired a firm co-owned by Weldon’s daughter, Karen, for fees totaling nearly $1 million a year, public records show.
It’s amazing the things daddy’s little girl can get if she goes through the right channels.
Thankfully, folks in Crazy Curt’s district in Pennsylvania have a real choice: Joe Sestak
