[It seems the FBI’s interested in some of Sen. Steven’s emails.](http://www.alaskareport.com/z46171_ted_stevens_indicted_soon.htm) > [@](#): > > Alaska Republican Senator Ted Stevens has confessed in an interview to the Washington Post that the FBI asked him to preserve records as part of a widening investigation into Alaskan political corruption. > > “They put me on notice to preserve some records,” Stevens said in the Post interview. The Washington Post confronted him after learning about the FBI request. > > One aspect of the corruption case involves Stevens’ son, former Alaska senate president Ben Stevens, who is also awaiting his arrest on corruption, tax evasion, and bribery charges. Color me surprized that he even knew what email was, much less had some of value. ---
