TPM Reader RS chimes in from near San Diego …
I wonder who the “the few conservative congressmen” are who were complaining about Carol Lam. I live in Duke’s district and the only congressman here who has complained publicly is Darrell Issa.
Duncan Hunter has been strangely silent and he’s usually the first one to feign outrage on an immigration issue. Hunter was involved with Duke in pressuring the Pentagon to give Brent Wilkes some of his contracts so I expect the FBI is investigating him.
While I have read in the press that Issa and “other members of congress” have complained about Lam, those others have never been publicly identifed. Locally, neither Hunter nor Brian Bilbray (duke’s successor) issued any press releases about this matter.
