WSJ: New Indictment Expected in Hill Scandals


The pic is in regards to the date of November 14, 2003. Brent Wilkes, founder of ADCS and briber of Duke Cunningham, hosted a fundraiser for Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA). Doolittle came through for Wilkes, delivering $37M in earmarks over three years to another of his companies, PerfectWave, Inc. The military never asked for the funding.
When Duke Cunningham went down in one of the largest congressional bribery scandals in history, he tried to take his main bribers with him: Mitchell Wade, who quickly confessed to the charge and has been cooperating with authorities; and Brent Wilkes, who's rebuffed Duke's accusation and maintained a stony silence to the Feds.
Now, the Wall Street Journal says that federal prosecutors are under orders to deliver a grand jury indictment against him by Feb. 15
