One congressman imitates the Saturday Night Massacre and fires investigators looking into ethics issues. Now, via Crooks and Liars, we learn that another is compiling his own enemies list:
E-mails received by CREW [Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington] have prompted us to ask the Department of Justice to investigate whether Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA) violated the law by intimidating government personnel “in the national security field” who support his opponent, Joe Sestak.
The first e-mail describes a “hit list” compiled of Weldon opponent’s supporters. In addition, that e-mail notes the Weldon said something to the effect of “If they don’t think there will be retribution before or after the election, they’re kidding themselves.” The second e-mail states that Weldon had his staff contact Navy personnel to get information on Sestak.
Nixon is not the best role model, guys.
