He wasn't just some accountant... he was the "National Republican Congressional Committee's longtime treasurer" and their " 'go-to guy' for candidates wishing to navigate complicated campaign finance regulations." Moreover, the article goes on to note all of the other corrupt Republicans involved in similar activities:
Quote:
Former Majority Leader Tom DeLay resigned in 2006 to battle a money-laundering indictment in his home state of Texas, and Rep. Bob Ney, the former chairman of the House Administration Committee, pleaded guilty to corruption charges in the scandal surrounding disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
This year, Rep. John Doolittle, a California Republican whose ties to Abramoff are under scrutiny, announced in January that he will not seek re-election.
And in February, a federal grand jury indicted Arizona Rep. Rick Renzi on charges that he promised to support legislation in exchange for a land deal that netted him more than $700,000.
