--> It appears that two Republicans from Alaska are under investigation because of something they may have done. Raw Story:

Two senior Republican lawmakers are reportedly under criminal investigation for alleged corruption linked to an Alaska oil services company.

Whoa! Apparently what happens in Alaska, doesn't always stay in Alaska!
