Since 2003, Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Mich.) has underreported the value of his Capitol Hill
townhouse by hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in his personal financial disclosure
forms, an apparent violation of House rules.

1. I wonder if this guy will join Stevens with an indictment?

He's accused of lying for almost 4 years about his townhouses value.

2. That's our Joe (my congresscritter) ... 100% fascist.

He's despicable ... on par with Duncan Hunter and J. D. Hayworth, who were the congresscritters other members of my family suffered under.

Joe is completely owned by the financial and insurance sector. Totally.

4. Looks that way from his progressive rating of 6% !!

You think he's dirty? Sure looks that way!

I hope you can get him out!

Thirteen House members subpoenaed by defense attorneys in the corruption case of California
businessman Brent Wilkes are refusing to comply, and House lawyers are expected to file a
motion to quash the subpoenas.

Wilkes is scheduled to go on trial on Oct. 2 as part of the ongoing federal probe into
the bribery scandal that brought down former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-Calif.).
Cunningham is serving a 100-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to
accepting more than $2.4 million in bribes and other corruption charges.

One Democratic leadership aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity, called the subpoenas
“a fishing expedition by Geragos” and dismissed the whole incident as “a publicity stunt.”

The subpoenas were read into the Congressional Record at the end of Monday’s House session,
after the final vote.

The members subpoenaed — nine Republicans and four Democrats — were

former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.);
House Minority Leader Roy Blunt (R-Mo.),
former Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.),
former Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.),
former Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.),
Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.),
Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas),
Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John P. Murtha (D-Pa.),
Rep. Norm Dicks (D-Wash.),
Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.),
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.),
Rep. Joseph Knollenberg (R-Mich.)
and Rep. Jerry Weller (R-Ill.).
