The FBI issued a subpoena to the state Highway Patrol today, ordering the agency to produce all records related to private air travel of the Easley family.
The request is made as part of a grand jury investigation, according to the documents. The grand jury meets next week, according to the subpoena.
Besides seeking information about the private travels of former Gov. Mike Easley, his wife Mary Easley and his son Michael Easley Jr., the subpoena requests documents relating to:
Payments made in exchange for the air travel.
Communications with the Easley family regarding the private travel.
Communications regarding public inquiries surrounding the air travel.
The state Highway Patrol's records retention policy.
The retention or destruction of records related to travel by the Easley family.
The News & Observer published a story on Saturday detailing private flights that the former governor took based on records Easley had kept secret while in office. Some flights were free, according to aircraft owners and pilots who flew him. Some were not reported on campaign disclosure reports, though the records show that they were campaign flights.

Thanks, abb.
You got that right...I lived in NC for several months and was astounded by the number of pols in jail, convicted and ready to go to jail or being investigated. Then there was all the police corruption. What a hole...all courtesy of the dems...and voters who just can’t kick the govt hand out habit.
Thanks for the ping, abb.
Hot water for Easley...
And remember who it was that appointed most of the judges and district attorneys in the state.
They always identify republicans in the headline and in first sentence.

It's the local newspaper, so no need to mention party. Everybody here knows who Easley is, and NC governors are always Democrats. We've only had 2 or 3 Republican governors since Reconstruction. It's common knowledge here.
Yep that’s correct. People would be amazed to find out how much corruption exists in NC.
MSM has no idea how predictable and stale they are.
BTTT!
How convenient that the Grand Jury waits until the crook is out of office before beginning an investigation. They should start right now on Bev Perdue for her theft of State Education Lottery funds for general fund use, and for her grabbing the Federal bailout funds for her hometown cronies.
All roads lead to Durham. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
NC ping!
Sorry for the ping delay folks, and the lack of html. I’m freeping from a different computer and hopefully I’ve pieced together the current names list.
Thanks to abb for the ping.
This stuff never happens when the democrat is in office. It magically remains behind the door.
I’m sending an amount equal to half of one percent of my salary to the Hunt Cartel, care of Jim Hunt,

like Mayors Daley, one of the longest running political cartels, now in it’s 16th year.
Should have known he’s a DEM. Not a word in the article.
But it is in the title. (Unless it was added later.)
It’s in the post not in the Raleigh newspaper article.
