FBI Investigating CA GOPerFollowing reports and complaints of fishy land deals, the Feds have been investigating Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA), making him the 20th member of the 109th Congress to fall under federal scrutiny.
Miller, a real estate developer by trade, came to the attention of the FBI when a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group complained last summer that the congressman hadn’t paid taxes on two land deals he was involved in, The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports.
An August article in the Los Angeles Times gave juicy details of the problem.
Although we’re just learning of the investigation, it appears the FBI has been asking around about Miller since late last year, which means we can count him as one of the many scandalized lawmakers from the Schemin’ 109th. You can see our ongoing attempts at scandal scorekeeping here and here.
A December LA Times investigation gave even more great details about Miller, including how he pushed his staff to win him favors like sweet tickets to a Rolling Stones concert, or help his son register for college classes.
