FBI Investigation Could Be Headed to More People

The Weekly Recorder

Washington-Federal investigations and evidence are normally airtight and prepared before seeking an indictment. It is for that reason that many in the local bar association are privately asking “Why are the Feds grabbing more computers and documents?”

One possiblity is that the federal investigation is expanding as privately promised to so many seeking real reform in Washington County. For the past few years, sources have stated that the local investigation will be like “New Orleans and Youngstown”. In both cities nearly a hundred elected officials, attorneys and police officers were indicted. Could the new record seizures be part of a larger investigation?

Our sources say Yes! Federal investigators are centering their investigation according to our sources on the following positions:

Two judges
Two State Troopers
Former and current employees of the District Attorney’s office
At least two local attorneys
Other county employees including some at the county jail

Whether the federal investigation into Washington County will bear any proof will remain to be seen over the next few months. Regardless the story of John Petitt will dominate the headlines of Washington County for the months to come.
