Suit alleges Capitol ties for Uncleansweep.com

The founder of PaCleanSweep is claiming in papers filed with federal court that a Web site created to discredit him has ties to computers inside the Capitol.

Russ Diamond, the chairman of PaCleanSweep, last month sued GOP House staffer Bob Nye for libel after it was determined that he had created the Web site Uncleansweep.com.

After lawmakers gave themselves a raise this summer, Diamond founded PaCleanSweep to field candidates to run against incumbents in the upcoming election. The pay raise has since been rescinded. But many of Diamond's candidates are now on the May primary ballot.
