Okay, looks like the AP was the first to get confirmation on federal investigation into shady land deals by Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ). TPMmuckraker and seveal other news organizations have been in the hunt on this one since late last week. We're going to follow up shortly with more information to add to the story.

So many GOP congressmen under federal investigation.

So little time.

Renzi's lawyer told the AP Renzi wasn't aware of any federal investigation. With what we've heard I find that very difficult to believe. Heck, we've been putting in calls to his office about the investigation since Friday. Heck, if he'd have called us back we could have filled him in on the whole thing.
