Ex-defense contractor assisting govermment to probe five Congressional leaders.

Thinkprogress:
Mitchell Wade, the corrupt former lobbyist who plead guilty in 2006 to bribing former Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA), is reportedly assisting “the government in investigating five other members of Congress,” according to a memorandum filed on Wednesday.


A 42-page sentencing memo filed by Wade’s attorneys says he aided the government in its investigation “of at least five other members of Congress” who were under investigation for “corruption similar to that of Mr. Cunningham.”

On a side note: Reps. Virgil Goode (R-VA) and Katherine Harris (R-FL) are hinted to be one of the the 5 members of Congress. I am banking on Congressman Jerry Lewis (R-CA) to be among those five.I suspect Wade will be giving leniency and giving probation and community service and less or no jail time

Many more names and crimes will come out in the future. We haven't seen or heard anything yet yes we will be shocked to see the crimes committed over the pass 7 years and all the Law Makers involved. Some names are known and others are less known. But all have been in their positions for a long time. Look for Dems and Republicans to be named.

Time for the corrupt to sing like a canary to throw the others under the bus.
