Cunningham Did No Wrong, Panel FindsHey, Dukester, take heart. Federal prosecutors may have found enough evidence of bribery and malfeasance to lock you up for eight years — and your errant sex life is now on public display.
But your pals on the House Armed Services Committee say you’re clean — at least from fiscal year 2004 through 2006.
The panel, led by former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham’s (R-CA) pal, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), reviewed Duke’s recent-year activity when he was among them, and concluded that he didn’t do anything wrong, according to CongressDaily‘s Megan Scully, who’s followed this story doggedly from the get-go.
The probe would have ended here, but Democrats on the panel demanded the review extend to cover all of Cunningham’s work with the committee, stretching back 15 years. Hunter consented earlier this month.
Of course, the House intelligence committee is conducting its own probe into Duke’s behavior with them. A third panel, the House Appropriations Committee (run by Duke pal Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)) , has to date refused to look into what Duke might have done when he was in its number.
