Just after the political blog Talking Points Memo posted this video on their version of the whole history of the Murkowski family...and how, in their opinion, we ended up where we did, Senator Lisa Murkowski agreed to sell her land back to the man she bought it from. The Senator said no land deal was worth hurting Alaskans' trust.
It appeared over the weekend last weeks political storm might be coming down, then Monday morning I received a text message from my assignment manager, "Ted Stevens' home is being raided by the FBI."
I have spent yesterday and today chronicling this truly unbelievable story.
1. It starts with the Feds raiding his home
2. Then appears to widen to our life science center land deal
3. And now groups are asking him to step down, (sort of)
It was even the CBS Evening News' lead story. (Although, FYI, the company's name is pronounced VEEE-COH, NOT VECK-OH)
For the record Stevens continues to not to comment, even though he says he want to. But at his lawyers request he says he can't.
