..." - Rep. Mel Reynolds, D-Ill., was sentenced in 1995 to five years in prison for having sex with an underage campaign worker. He resigned from Congress, then was sentenced in 1997 to 6 1/2 years for bank fraud and other violations. The second sentence, which was to run at the same time as first, was commuted in 2001 by President Clinton. "...

Gee whiz, how come this one is of no surprise to anyone?

Why was Traficant nailed to the wall while Torricelli got a pass? Traficant had the gaul to attack clinton while Torch propped him up.

Trafficant got 8 years, but he won't serve anywhere near all of it.

"Congress is rushing to pass a bill outlawing corporate fraud. If they really want to outlaw fraud, maybe they should just pass a bill outlawing Congress."

"If drugs make you stupid what does that say about someone who declares war on them, inanimate objects that they are, and is losing?"

 It's a war against people.

At least one missing. Nick Mavroules, D-MA, pleaded guilty to a number of felonies (bribery, etc) in 1991.

This list is more complete, but I think he's reaching on a couple of cases. There are a couple of forgotten crooked Rs on there, too (remember Jay Kim?)

d.o.l.

Criminal Number 18F
