Rep. Jerry Lewis: The Million Dollar Man
By Paul Kiel - Jan 25, 2008 - http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/005144.php


Congratulations to Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) lawyers! They've surpassed $1 million in legal fees from the lawmaker.

Lewis, long-time TPMmers will remember, has been under federal investigation since the spring of 2006 for his ties to defense contractor and convicted criminal Brent Wilkes and lobbyist buddy Bill Lowery.

Since June of 2006, Lewis has paid just over $1 million in campaign funds to some heavy-hitters at the law firm Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher, according to campaign disclosures. A $62,000 payment on December 12th last year put him over the top.

2. What is really needed is a Justice Department that will actually enforce laws.

The day of the privileged few escaping the rule of law must END.

5. Meanwhile, we saw that Mukasey only looks one way, away from Bush

when it comes to enforcing the law.
