ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A federal grand jury is investigating how a California firm that contributed to the political activities of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the nominee to head the Commerce Department, won a lucrative government contract.

A person familiar with the proceedings told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the panel is looking into possible "pay-to-play" dealings between CDR Financial Products and someone in a position to push the contract through with the state of New Mexico. The person asked not to be named because the proceedings are secret.

Just let this linger a while. Best to get Richardson sworn in, then go after him ~ I have my suspicions that this is going to be the least ethical administration in American history!

Frankly, I’m amazed that AP is reporting it.....If we didn’t know better, it would almost look like a concerted effort to damage Oh!bama before he takes the oath of office.....
