Neighbor: Bilbray being investigated by grand jury

By: WILLIAM FINN BENNETT - Staff Writer

NORTH COUNTY ----- A neighbor of Republican 50th District Rep. Brian Bilbray said Thursday that he was subpoenaed to testify before a San Diego County grand jury in August and spent about an hour and a half answering questions about whether Bilbray lived in his Carlsbad neighborhood.

Meanwhile, an official with the Republican Party of San Diego County has asked for an investigation into Democratic candidate Francine Busby's alleged use of illegal immigrants in her campaign.

More Election Coverage
Speculation has swirled around the Bilbray's residence issue for days, with Democrats and Busby's campaign claiming they had received calls from several of Bilbray's Carlsbad neighbors, saying they had been called to testify before a grand jury investigating the congressman's residence.


The allegations that Bilbray was not living where he said he was first surfaced in May, just weeks before a special election to pick a temporary replacement for the seat formerly held by the now-imprisoned Randy "Duke" Cunningham. The Vietnam War ace pleaded guilty to bribery and tax evasion late last year and is now serving an eight-year, four-month prison sentence.

1. testify

Was it a 'Subpenis'?

[aquart]

2. Bilbray was subpoenaed?

Why would they subpoena the target?

Are grand juries different in each state?

3. Please change your inaccurate subject line

The article does not say that Bilbray has been subpoenaed. In fact it says (according to Bilbray himself) that he has not been called to testify.

7. Even if he wins, I think he is on his way out

Even if Francine Busby loses this November, she might want to keep her campaign signs handy and her staffers on-call.

9. Perhaps he, Dukestir, and Duncan Hunter will all be sharing a cell...

... together soon! Hearing rumors that Hunter will also be indicted after the election too.

I think many of the Republicans are counting on us Dems being tired of all of the special elections we have had to go through over the last few years (mayoral election, Arnold's special election, Cunningham's special election, etc.) and that without enough, that we'll all stay home then.
