FBI raids on Curt Welson

WTF?

Politically motivated? By whom, Republicans, who control everything, including the FBI?

KBCI 2 Boise, Idaho:

MEDIA, Pa. The F-B-I has raided the Pennsylvania homes of a congressman's daughter and a close friend.

It's looking into whether the congressman, Republican Curt Weldon, improperly helped his daughter and his friend win lobbying and consulting contracts.

In all, six locations were searched in the Philadelphia area and in Jacksonville, Florida.

Weldon is locked in a tight re-election bid. Earlier today, he described the investigation as politically motivated, and he questioned the timing of it.

Weldon denies any wrongdoing, and says he gave his daughter no special help.

An F.B.I spokeswoman says Weldon's home and his offices were not among the locations searched.
