He's a donor...as opposed to Stevens, Foley, Craig, and Vitter, who are actual Congressmen. Nice try, but you guys are way ahead when it comes to corruption and scandals.

Why do Liberals defend Democrats when they break the law? I am outraged as a Republican over what has gone on under this administration. We voted many Republicans out!
You forget that Ken Starr secured 24 indictments when Clinton was President. It's pathetic how you want to pretend it was all about sex and lies. 12 indictments and they were much more serious than you care to recall....

Pointing fingers only show how shallow the pointer really is. EVERYONE knows that when the finger is pointed ( verbally and physically) there are THREE FINGERS, POINTING BACK AT THE POINTER!!!
Actually, ALL OF OUR POLITICIANS ARE GUILTY OF A LOT OF CORRUPTION !!! Not the least of which is accepting the lobbyist campaign contributions for favoring legislation, pork barre ll projects, out and out theft, etc.
Nuff said,

Yes that's one of hundreds.
I know that you asked this question with this source to direct corruption as only something found within the Democrat Party.
Would you like me to post all of the Republicans who are in Federal Prison or are standing trial or have been indicted JUST this year?
If you want to go back to 2000 I could list multiples.
Face it. Corruption is bipartisan and we should admit it and try to stop it as much as we can!
Corruption is Republican players as well as Democrat. How is playing party partisan games of 'mine is less or more corrupt than yours' ever going to accomplish anything???

It's clear that both sides have their problems, despite the one sided BS from Pelosi. Note how the money went to Hillary's PAC (and not her campaign) and is now being sent to her favorite charity (which is probably another one of her PAC's). Quite slick.

Or is it the "vast right wing conspiracy" that Hillary talked about? Pelosi would do well to clean her own house, but she doesn't, she reaches out, embraces, and coddles her own corrupt members.

Yes, and Al Cracka, you must not pay attention to all the Dems in scandals. Jefferson, Murtha, Reid, The Clintons ( Hillary and Bill), Filner, Frank, Kennedy....and on and on it goes...You guys just don't hold them accountable, you re-elect them and make them Heads of Committees.
