Rep. Ken Calvert disputes being investigated by FBI


But, Calvert's land deal connection is being investigated:

Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Carona) a partner in a company involved in a land dispute, said the FBI has not contacted him. The Associated Press said its report of the investigation was erroneous.

Congressman Ken Calvert said Monday that published reports indicating that he is under investigation by the FBI for his involvement in a disputed land deal were untrue.

"I have never been contacted by the FBI, and they have not contacted any of our partners," said Calvert, a Republican from Carona.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said she could neither confirm nor deny whether the agency was investigating Calvert.

The Associated Press, which had reported that Calvert was under investigation, said Monday that its published story was erroneous.

Dan Rodriguez, general manager of the Jurupa Area Recreation and Park District, said an FBI agent came to his office about six months ago regarding the land deal that was the subject of a 2007 grand jury investigation.

The park district filed a lawsuit against the Jurupa Community Services District, which sold four acres of land in Mira Loma to Stadium Properties. Parks officials said the sale was illegal because the community services district failed to notify other agencies first about the sale. The parks district had hoped to build baseball fields on the land where Stadium Properties, of which Calvert is a partner, wants to put a self-storage facility.

The grand jury concluded that the sale violated state law. The parks district is now suing the community services district.

Yes SPB Calvert as been living fat for 15 years and as many crimes as pounds. Now here's some news Calvert sells his tour tickets to the White House. That's why he refused my request and I had to go to Senator Boxer. Calvert has other investigations to worry about too. He's up to this fat neck in the crimes with Rep. Jerry Lewis. Oh Rep. Lewis slipped in a pork project for 3 Billion dollars for Goldman Sachs and yes Lewis was paid very well for that action.
