Soros-funded group seeks investigation
According to Marketwatch, a Soros-funded group asks OCE and DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility to investigate Rep. Harman immediately,over a putative AIPAC discussion. George Soros' Open Society Institute contributed $100,000 to CREW in January 2006.

According to the Washington Post:
"...a Democracy Alliance blessing effectively jump-started
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)....
Alliance officials see CREW as a possible counterweight to
conservative-leaning Judicial Watch, which filed numerous lawsuits
against Clinton administration officials in the 1990s.” (13)
