Here in Nevada, we have a new governor who seems to have a scandal haunting him from his old job. Just before the November election, a story came out about Jim Gibbons receiving illegal gifts for helping local billionaire Warren Trepp snag some government contracts for one of his companies, eTreppid.

the Wall Street Journal reports the FBI may have found a smoking gun email:

The Journal reported new evidence had emerged in a federal court lawsuit in Reno, including e-mails to Trepp discussing a payment or gifts to then-Rep. Gibbons. The e-mails also show Gibbons using his congressional office to help the firm seek classified military and civilian contracts.

"Please don't forget to bring the money you promised Jim and Dawn," Trepp's wife, Jale Trepp, said in a March 22, 2005, e-mail days before Trepp and his wife embarked on the Caribbean cruise with Jim Gibbons and his wife, Dawn, a former Nevada state assemblywoman.

Minutes later, Mr. Trepp responds, "Don't you ever send this kind of message to me! Erase this message from your computer right now!"

Guess Mrs. Trepp didn't get that bribing congressmen is a crime that Mr. Trepp didn't want documented in emails.
