Senator Feinstein finally caught on conflict

Senator Diane Feinstein stepped down as chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Military Construction Appropriations last week. Did she depart because of her conflict of interest with her husband's business?

She won't say.

Feinstein's press office was contacted several times Friday by Cybercast News Service, but her office did not provide a statement on the matter at the end of the day.

We covered her conflict of interest on January 27. For several years she oversaw hearings involving her husband for about $1,000,000,000 per year.

Tell us, Di Fi, why did you step down?
