Kanjorski And Cornerstone

Bryan posts an item on a Democrat Congressman, over 9 Million in earmarks and an FBI investigation involving a company named Cornerstone.

“I have no relationship to the Cornerstone company and have had no involvement in the company’s legal proceedings, except I indicated my willingness to give a deposition,” he said in a statement to Politico.

Really? This according to the Times Leader - August 30, 2007:

WILKES-BARRE - A political action committee established by U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski continued to pay his nephew a $2,000 monthly consulting fee and rent office space in a South Franklin Street building owned in part by the congressman.

The rest is buried but you can get at this bit via Google:

Paul Kanjorski continued to pay his nephew a $2000 monthly consulting fee and ... The congressman’s nephew also was head of Cornerstone Technologies LLC

So, the head of the company he secured earmarks for is on his payroll, but he's doing a Sergeant Schultz and knowing nothing? I don't think!

What's that? Why just a boobiferous blob of blathering banter bombinating in the void.

Any word on Ted Stevens? His vacation house looks great! Plus, he supports the troops!

Kanjorski and Reid aren't enough? Add in Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein that California Coven of Cloistered Corruption.
