So let me get this straight. If they give him the money he won't investigate this corruption?

And that is the line of the day. Congratulations, you win a copy of the DNC playbook, autographed by Howard Dean.
Sounds like your run-of-the-mill DC extortion.
Yep, that's the way the game is played in DC. I'm just surprised that King is stupid enough to say it in public. Whata moron he's publicly telling the DHS that if the CIA wants to continue having orgies at the Watergate they better fork over some loot. I can see it now DC hookers lobbying congress for increased funding for New York. You really can't make this stuff up
The pitch...McGruff swings, it's a hit to center field . . . it's going . . . going . . . SMACK INTO THE JUMBOTRON! HOME RUN FOR MCGRUFF! YOU CAN HANG A STAR ON THAT ONE, BABY!
That's what it sounds like... In my book, they better do the investigation no matter what... and when they're done they can investigate King for making the prid pro quo ( spelled wrong) offer... What an outrage.
That's what I took from the article... If they need to investigate something, it should be because it needs to be investigated. Not because a Rep is blackmailing them outright for money.
From what I've read, yes. Hey, c'mon, all us plebe taxpayers have been taking a ride on the "GoodTrain/BadTrain" for so long, sometimes it's hard to tell what the hell is going on. Well, I'll tell you what's going on.
There is a one party system here, with two branches. Each one plays the other against the other...doesn't matter which. What does matter is that the pubs have had all the "power" for years now, and basically nothing is new. As a matter of fact, for us taxpayers, it's gotten worse. Let's think about illegal immigration or the "expanded powers" of Imminent Domain thru the USSC, or how about CFR (Campaign Finance Reform.....yeah, I'm sure no politician is getting less $$$ now than before)
What a sham this Republic has become. The march to the NWO (New World Order for those of you in RioLinda) continues unabated by either party (heh) because that is the end that justifies the means. Think about it...
There is not one of Karl Marx's marxist list in the Manifesto that is not in place or soon to be.
History does repeat itself, and as a wise man once wrote...
"There is nothing new under the sun".
The marxists are winning, big time. Everyone wants this to be "Heaven on earth".
Sorry folks, this ain't heaven and it's not supposed to be.

It's not even corruption if they paid for the hotel room(s) and prostitutes themselves.
Not exactly the best behavior for folks with high security clearances though. Definitely "adverse information". (Blackmail potential)
