Feds Hit 21 with Probe of Nevada Pol, ABC News, Feb. 15, 2007:

The number of investigations into lawmakers from the 109th Congress has grown to 21.

Jim Gibbons, the newly-elected Republican governor of Nevada, is facing a federal investigation for suspicions of criminal behavior while he was a member of Congress, according to a Wall Street Journal report today. The probe would make Gibbons, who left Congress last fall, the fourth member of the former House Intelligence Committee to come under such scrutiny. Twenty-one members of the 109th Congress investigated for one type of crime or another. That's amazing. And four just from the House Intelligence Committee! I guess that intelligence is worth a pretty penny, eh?

And here I was, thinking that the 109th Congress was the biggest do-nothing Congress in history! Guess I was really wrong about that!!
