FBI'S AIPAC PROBE EXPANDS TO REP. JANE HARMAN (D-CAL)

Report: FBI, Justice Dept. probe AIPAC (JPost)

According to a TIME Magazine report the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors are examining whether Rep. Jane Harman of California and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) may have violated the law in a scheme to get Harman reappointed as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, according to knowledgeable sources in and out of the US government.

The sources told TIME that the investigation by Justice and the FBI is examining whether Harman and AIPAC arranged for wealthy supporters to lobby House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Harman's behalf. Harman said Thursday in a voicemail message that any investigation of - or allegation of improper conduct by - her would be "irresponsible, laughable and scurrilous."
