John Sweeney - Jack Abramoff

Here is a little article in the back section of todays NYT.

The raid was part of an investigation of former Congressman John Sweeney, an Albany-area Republican with ties to Mr. Abramoff. During the raid on Friday, about 10 F.B.I. agents spent several hours collecting computers and files from the office of Powers & Company, the lobbying firm.

The company is run by the former chairman of the state Republican Party, William D. Powers. Mr. Sweeney’s ex-wife, Gayle, worked for Powers & Company until early last year, and Mr. Powers was a longtime political patron of the congressman.

Looks like the Federal government is still interested in the involvement of John Sweeney with Jack Abramoff. Always nice to see Mr. "shut them down" Sweeney get investigated again.
