How much more obvious can it get?

As Congress investigated its role in the doomed Deep Horizon oil rig, Halliburton donated $17,000 to candidates running for federal office, giving money to several lawmakers on committees that have launched inquiries into the massive spill.

The Texas-based oil giant’s political action committee made 14 contributions during the month of May, according to a federal campaign report filed Wednesday — 13 to Republicans and one to a Democrat. It was the busiest donation month for Halliburton’s PAC since September 2008.

We sure do need a special prosecutor all right, but not one for investigating whether someone was offered a job but one to investigate congressional Republicans who continue to take bribes. Those are people who work against the American people.
