U.S.: The FBI goes out on a limb to defend Sarah Palin

  • Normally, we don’t confirm or deny those kind of allegations out there. But, by not doing so, it just casts her in a very bad light. There is just no truth to those rumors out there in the blogosphere.
  • FBI Special Agent Eric Gonzalez • Regarding rumors that Sarah Palin was under investigation for corruption during her tenure as governor of Alaska.

Biz, U.S.: Everybody’s favorite ponzi schemer, R. Allen Stanford, in custody

  • He surrendered to FBI agents while hanging at hs gf’s place. Stanford, who’s on the hook for $8 billion in freaking fraud, was arrested last night in the case. According to his attorney, Dick DeGuerin, here’s how it went down: “Federal agents in black SUVs surrounded his girlfriend’s house this afternoon, and just sat there. I told him to walk out and introduce himself. So he did, and he asked them, ‘If you’ve got a warrant, take me into custody. If you don’t, I’m going to Houston.’ And they did, so they arrested him.” He’ll be in court today. source

Lawyer Mark Geragos, who works for David’s brother Keith, explains: “All we really know is not much more than what the public knows, and that’s disturbing.” source
