I wonder how this will play out:

The public corruption probe under the Gold Dome appears to be widening.

InsiderAdvantage now has learned that as many as 15 FBI agents are assigned to the case, which involves alleged wrongdoing not only in the legislative branch but in the executive branch, as well, where contracts awarded by various state agencies have come under scrutiny.

“This is serious,” said a highly reliable source who is familiar with the investigation."

To be sure, federal corruption probes in other Southern states have been fraught with controversy, particularly in Alabama, where former Gov. Don Siegelman was released from prison after a federal appeals court determined there was sufficient cause to revisit the circumstances of his conviction. Political motivation on the part of Republican-appointed U.S. Attorneys was alleged.

The Georgia case looks different, our source said, citing, among other things, the statement by U.S. Attorney David Nahmias that an investigation is ongoing and his warning to lawbreakers that they should come forward before investigators come knocking on their doors.

“I don’t believe they (several of the elected officials who are under close scrutiny) even realize that they are under investigation,” the source continued. “They are so used to how they operate that they can’t imagine that they could ever have done anything wrong.”
