Michelle Malkin and Brian Maloney (no relation) are both reporting on newly unearthed documents showing that Al Franken—contrary to his on-air denials—was intimately involved in the financing of Air America Radio, including the “loan” from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club that is now being investigated by New York City and State authorities:

Far from being an innocent party with no knowledge of Air America’s money woes, Franken was a signatory to the agreement. The document, published here for the first time, exposes how Franken misled his listeners and the press about his knowledge of the charity loan.

It is interesting to note that this story is being driven entirely by two bloggers, Malkin and Maloney. The establishment media, which gleefully covered all the details of Rush Limbaugh’s troubles two years ago, is missing the story entirely.
