Looks like Glen Casada is about to go through some things.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving guy!

"The FBI is investigating whether former House Speaker Glen Casada was owner of a shadowy vendor that did work for several Republicans and netted $231,000 from the House Republican Caucus, according to statements by a Tennessee lawmaker.

Rep. Kent Calfee, a Kingston Republican who paid Phoenix Solutions for constituent services, recently confirmed to the Tennessee Lookout that FBI agents interviewed him after they raided the Cordell Hull Building in early January. They searched his office and the homes and offices of former Speaker Casada, Republican Rep. Robin Smith of Hixson and new Republican Rep. Todd Warner of Chapel who had not been sworn in yet.

Calfee, who isn’t a subject of the federal investigation, said agents told him he would understand more about their probe once they finished interviewing him.

“They asked me if I knew Cade Cothren and Glen Casada were owners of Phoenix Solutions,” said Calfee, who also intimated he believes the FBI probe is widespread."...(more at link, including allegations of vote buying/quid pro quo on school voucher plan).
