What's the deal with Rep. Hastings calling the US Atty's office
right after the Nov. elections and inquiring about investigations into voter fraud in the Gov. race there? Hastings is a Dem isn't he? The Gov. who won (very narrowly) is also a Dem.

I don't understand!

1. Congresscritters of ANY stripe should refrain from contacting
US Attorneys regarding cases for any reason due to the appearance of impropriety.

4. THAT'S MY understanding as well. I can't help question
Hastings' contact in this case. It looks like something dirty was going on in the election and he was checkking to make sure it wasn't discovered!

I hope I'm just too damn suspicious, but I sure would HATE for the Dems to get wrapped up in this mess!

5. They're talking about Doc Hastings (R-WA), not Alcee Hastings.

2. 'Doc' Hastings is full-fledged fascist Repuglicker - Eastern Washington
The Tri-Cities ("Dry Shitties") is part of his district, including the Hanford site.
