SOURCE: PETTIT TRIED TO GET PASSPORT MONDAY
Novmeber 21, 2007
Washington-A source has informed The Weekly Recorder that District Attorney John Pettit attempted to gain a passport on Monday from the Washington Post Office.
According to our source, Pettit was in line at nearly 5 pm and requested information on how to get a passport. US Post Offices are one of the various locations where a person can apply in person for expedited service. Expedited service makes it possible for a person to receive a passport in about three weeks.
Pettit was unable to start the process because the office that processes the form was already closed.
Some people have questioned why Pettit would have been so foolish to have applied for a passport in a county in which he is easily recognized.
Pettit has been under investigation by the FBI for years and on Tuesday had his safe seized by the FBI and Pennsylvania State Police.
Pettit is believed to be one of the subjects of a Grand Jury. Whether an indictment will be handed down on from the Grand Jury is unknown.
One of the most likely scenarios for a Pettit indictment is on allegations of case fixing.
Pettit is famed for deal making in politics and many people have believed that it is possible that his dealmaking could have extended into his office.
Pettit has publicly stated that the FBI was no longer interested in investigating him because they received “bad information”. This public statement was made in the spring when he announced his run for reelection. But apparently Pettit has been misinformed.
UPDATE: Pettit was seen at the Washington Post Office again on Wednesday, November 21, 2007.
