How to Go About Investigating a Scandal Without Uncovering Any Dirt, might be the title of Democratic attempts to probe the Billie Sol Estes matter. The Fountain subcommittee of the House Government Operations Committee, first congressional group to latch on to the case, is working double time trying to prove that Estes was really a Republican mistake. One startling datum it turned up was a letter written by a “legislative consultant” (read: lobbyist) named Sorkin who claims he infiltrated a “secret meeting” of GOP congressional and National Committee leaders and discovered (can you imagine?) that the Republican Party is against the Administration Farm Bill.
