Where’s Daddy Now?

Reports last night in Las Vegas and this afternoon in DC suggest that the FBI’s investigation into Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) is the real deal. At issue is whether Ensign did anything criminally wrong as he tried to extricate himself from his affair with his campaign staffer, the wife of his Senate staffer, and then help the husband find employment and business opportunities elsewhere. My sense initially was that the investigation might be a bit of a stretch, where the FBI would take a quick look and determine there wasn’t enough there to pursue. But clearly that’s not what has happened.
