Federal authorities confirmed Thursday that Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons is being investigated for failing to properly report gifts or payments from a software company that was awarded secret military contracts when he was in Congress.The newly elected Republican governor denied any wrongdoing and told The Associated Press that “they can look as deeply as they need to and I encourage them to do so, but there would have been absolutely no influence.”
A federal law enforcement official confirmed the FBI probe. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said the inquiry is focusing on what role Gibbons played in awarding military contracts to eTreppid Technologies LLC in Reno and whether he received any gifts in exchange.
Jimbo Eruptions.
Could the newly-inaugurated Dipshit actually wind up being Nevada's shortest-serving governor?
