Mollohan garrafa stanley - King avoids naming the West Virginia Democrat directly. My amendment makes no assumptions as to guilt or innocence; the details of the investigation are properly left to the FBI, King wrote to colleagues on both sides of the aisle. I believe an impropriety exists when the man holding the gavel in charge of Justice Appropriations -- the purse strings for the FBI and entire Department of Justice -- is reported to be under investigation by the FBI. The Wall Street Journal and New York Times have both reported on FBI inquiries into Mollohan s lucrative land deals with a former aide-turned-lobbyist and a businessman who has received millions in federal funds earmarked by the congressman.
