Federal agents interviewed staffers for likely Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) as part of their corruption case against Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.).
U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona Diane J. Humetewa and fellow prosecutors disclosed the interviews with aides for McCain and fellow Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl in a written response to Renzi’s attorneys, who asked for the contents of the interview to help prepare for Renzi’s upcoming trial, which is scheduled for October.
The aides were interviewed about land exchanges, according to an April letter from Humetewa filed with the U.S. District Court of Arizona late last week. The letter did not indicate when the interviews occurred.
This is good news! For Hillary!

From the article:
Because the Bush DOJ has been the most non-politicized DOJ ever and if the Republican nominee had done anything wrong they’d go right after him. “GOP ethics attorney,” isn’t that a logical impossibility?

ONLY HILLARY CLINTON HAS THE EXPERIENCE IN LAND DEAL FRAUD TO ADEQUATELY FACE OFF AGAINST JOHN MCCAIN!
Also, Renzi? Renzo? Do all sleazy land lords have the same last name?

Gee I remember I kept hearing something from Hillary trolls.
What was that, seems like it was something about “just wait till Renzi trial and all the dirt on Obama!”
Hmmm, seems like that didn’t quite pan out.

You are thinking of Rezko.

Mister Magoo is going to be really great for the GOP.
He’s an ethical tranwreck. He’s an intellectual trainwreck.
He’s a personal trainwreck. He is the last comic standing in the GOP from a field of candidates that nobody liked.

Forget Renzi. Ol’ McShitstain has his hands in the sub-prime mess too. Just like those S&L scandals all over again….
SnarkyShark
Correct.
I will now commit seppeku

Prediction:
U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona Diane J. Humetewa will be fired within two months or else resign to spend more time with her family.

McCain’s only recourse is to choose Mittens as his VP. That will ensure him the states of Utah and southern Idaho. He can maybe win Arizona on his own if this land deal thing doesn’t spread too far and too deep.

McCain’s only recourse is to choose Mittens as his VP. That will ensure him the states of Utah and southern Idaho.
With Mittens on the ticket, McCain would get 99% of the vote in UT and ID, it is true.
Without Mittens on the ticket, he’d only get 99%. Sure, it’s the same number, but the turnout would be lower.
Or something.
