Feeney, Fi, Fo, FumSubmitted by Katie Schlieper on Wed, 04/25/2007 - 12:54pm.
Looks like Re. Tom Feeney (R-FL) got a call from the FBI wanting to know more about his participation in the 2003 Scotland golfing junket arranged by lobbyist Jack Abramoff that has become a centerpiece of the influence-peddlign scandal has so far netted a handful of guilty pleas and convictions from Members of Congress and staffers alike.
Feeney, who claims he has no relationship with Abramoff and was never lobbied by him, wrote a check to cover the cost of the Scotland trip after the House Ethics Committee found it was in violation of ethics rules. Unconfirmed reports indicate he's also sold his set of clubs and taken up racquetball.
