Did Ethical Issues Trip Up Gregg's Nomination?

By GottaLaff

Now they tell us:

Perhaps Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) didn't back out of his nomination to be Commerce secretary due to Republican party pressure or his principled stands on the issues after all.

An Associated Press investigation finds President Obama's former nominee "steered taxpayer money to his home state's redevelopment of a former Air Force base even as he and his brother engaged in real estate deals there."

Gregg personally invested in his brother's office projects and collected "at least $240,017 to $651,801 from his investment" in the former Air Force base "while helping arrange at least $66 million in federal aid for the former base."
