Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) — whose home was raided by the FBI late last month — told an NBC affiliate in Alaska, KTUU, he still isn’t sure if he is the “target” of the federal investigation.
“I’m not sure I’m a target yet. I’ve not been told I’m a target. But as a practical matter, the situation — I shouldn’t have answered that question either,” Stevens said. “I was not a target of those other investigations, is what I was saying.”
As we’ve noted before, the “target” line is a favorite one of scandal subjects who want to sound as if things aren’t all that bad. But it sounds like Stevens needs some convincing.
