Dominici Under Senate Investigation

I suppose this means his office is no longer "happy as a clam."
Today we learn that the Senate Ethics Committee is investigating Republican Senator Pete Dominici, who was a key player in the controversy over fired US Attorneys. You'll remember, I'm sure, that former US Attorney David Iglesias said that the lawmaker pressured him about the investigation of a Democrat in his state.
Back in March, after Dominici admitted to making the call, CREW filed a complaint against him -- and the Senate does allow for outside groups to make complaints. We've learned about the Senate investigation thanks to Democratic ethics reform requiring a yearly report.
