TPM Muckraker: Focus of FBI Probe, Mollohan May Oversee FBI Budget

Two senior Democrats have seen their leadership ambitions deep-sixed because of their murky ethics histories. Here's a third Democrat heading for a powerful post whom folks may want to keep an eye on.
Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) is
under investigation by the FBI. And he's set to assume a top post which would put him in control of the FBI's budget. Neat trick, eh?
The FBI's probing Mollohan for possible violations of the law arising from his sprawling network of favors and money which connects him to good friends via
questionable charities, alarmingly successful real estate ventures, and hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarked funds.
