Echoing Democrats, top House Republicans call for a criminal investigation into former Rep. Mark Foley’s (R-FL) misdeeds. Roll Call (sub. req.) says federal investigators are on their way — if they haven’t started already.
Funny — wasn’t Hastert trying to keep the Feds out of his House just a few months ago? Will he revert to form if the FBI decides it isn’t happy with the lack of thoroughness and impartiality in Hastert’s own “internal review” showing the leader knew nozzing, nozzing of Foley’s misdeeds?
Update: TPM Reader DK notes that the Justice Department is now saying there’s no investigation, but the department has a “real interest” in checking it out.
