Senator Vince Fumo testified yesterday that he increased his computer security and deleted e-mails after he found out that the FBI was investigating him. Fumo also testifed that he believes he was targeted by the Bush Administration because, "[he] was the most prominent Democrat in Pennsylvania."
"The defense attorney for State Sen. Vincent J. Fumo subjected Fumo's estranged son-in-law to a lively and grueling cross-examination yesterday, repeatedly challenging his testimony as a prosecution witness." Meanwhile, there was more testimony from the informant in the Fort Dix case, and a former employee of an affiliate of ACORN testified in another case that the community group knew that most new voter registration forms it had gathered were fraudulent.

(Clinton got a chicken cheesesteak at Boccella's in Conshy, while Obama went to Pat's. We're sure Vento loved that.)
