GOP Congressman - McCain's Campaign Co-Chair - Indicted on 27 charges of extortion, wire fraud and money laundering posted by Wally 11:18 AM It's not news anymore when a Republican Congress-critter is indicted for one thing or another. Nor when one is caught doing the nasty with someone other than his/her spouse. But this time, with McCain's former sex-capades still lingering in the spotlight, his Arizona campaign co-chair and member of his national "leadership" team is in trouble.... Rep. Renzi indicted over Arizona land deal The indictment charges Renzi, a three-term congressman, and business associate James Sandlin, 56, of Texas, with 27 counts of wire fraud, extortion, money laundering and conspiracies from real-estate transactions involving the two men. Other counts charge that Renzi and another business associate, Andrew Beardall, 36, of Maryland, violated federal insurance laws by embezzling more than $400,000 in insurance premiums from a trust account of the Patriot Insurance Agency Inc. to fund Renzi's congressional campaign in 2001 and 2002. The Renzi family owns the Santa Cruz County business . "Among the allegations contained in the indictment (Renzi) misused his public office by forcing a land sale that would financially benefit himself and a business associate, and in so doing, he betrayed the trust of the citizens of Arizona," said U.S. Attorney Diane Humetewa of Arizona. What a suprise, a republican "misusing his public office" to "financially benefit himself". Who would have thought. I can't wait to hear the Straight-Talk Express try to blow this off. Another "smear campaign", I presume. Permalink :: 1 comments :: Post a Comment




	It sounds like he earned his GOP credentials. McCain has too. His Sickening change since Bush became president is enough to make anyone spew. Now we find out that he has been using his POWER to bed a 40 yr. old (young enough to be his daughter) prostitute disguised as a "lobbyist." yech. McCain has earned his GOP credentials too. I remember the first time I read about the ridiculous claims some woman was making about being a part of a high placed GOP love slave ring as a child. I thought her claims were ridiulous until I found out that her case was dismissed because of National Security concerns. Our country is run by the sickest of the sick. Rape, murder...they don't care as long as they keep and increase their power. Jail Bush And Cheney and replace all of the other politicians with poor people who have to serve their nation in this capacity for a couple of years, then be replaced with people from the same category. Make lobbying illegal (felony). We have to get our govt. out of the hands of these powerbrokers. posted by md at 3:54 PM
