Virginia's Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, has subpoenaed documents from a scientist working at the University of Virginia. Such an action is permissible under a statute passed in 2002 to help curb and prevent employees at public Universities from defrauding public tax dollars. The Democrats in the State Assembly are, of course, aghast.
Funny that the Democrats should be concerned about the use of the subpoena for investigating potential misuse of public dollars; aren't they supposed to be the party of ethics and governmental responsibility? (I guess that that principle goes out the window when they hope to use the issue to gain electoral ground (read the Washington Post story here)).
Suspicions about the professor have led to previous investigations as well. Chances are that if he's raised eyebrows before, he's likely to raise them again.
If he did tamper with his evidence and data then he is defrauding the public of tax dollars and needs to be punished.

Problem is, that report is based on the flawed assumptions given to them by then-Speaker Pelosi, and double counts a huge amount of "savings." Cuts to Medicare, for example, are counted twice.
