CunningScam now has grand jury support.
Go here to read the latest on Randy "Duke" Cunningham and his housing problems.
A federal grand jury is investigating the relationship between Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham and a defense contractor, focusing particular attention on the sale of the congressman's Del Mar home to the company's owner, sources said.In addition to the nice summary of it so far, there is some reaction from his constituents.
The U.S. Attorney's Office issued subpoenas this week, some of which were delivered by FBI agents yesterday, said sources familiar with the probe and who asked not to be identified because grand jury proceedings are secret.
Meanwhile, the controversy spilled over into Cunningham's North County district yesterday as 25 sign-waving protesters marched outside his house.Oooh! Thats got to hurt.
"Two, four, six, eight, shame on Duke in Mansiongate!" the protesters chanted. "Duke, Duke, we deplore, that you profit, from this war!"
The North County Coalition for Peace & Justice gathered protesters outside Cunningham's home. As she chanted, Army veteran Barb Parcells, 44, of Rancho Bernardo, shook a sign that read: "FOR RENT – CONGRESSMAN."
"I know how much the Army depends on its equipment," Parcells said. "This raises the question, is he choosing the contractors with the best equipment for our troops, or is he choosing the contractor who gives him the best deal on his house?"
