TED STEVENS
In 2008, Alaska senator Ted Stevens was accused of accepting high-value gifts, which also included a Land Rover and home renovations, from a certain oil company and completely failing to mention those gifts. However, he soon issued a statement claiming that he was completely innocent of such charges and that he intended to prove that.
Stevens was eventually convicted on all charges, but that didn’t mark the end of the story. As part of the evidence against them, a testimony from VECO Corporation executive Bill Allen was added, and it wasn’t until 2009 that they decided to proceed with an investigation into the trial.
They discovered that the prosecution allowed Allen to give testimony on the stand that had nothing to do with other versions of the story. Moreover, they have overlooked and withheld other pieces of evidence in the case.
The case was eventually dismissed in 2009, but by 2012, fresh pieces of information were added to a report that suspended the prosecutors without pay: one was suspended for 40 days and another for 15 days (the third one had already died by suicide). As the New York Times showed, the official ruling was that the oversights were caused by “poor judgment” rather than malicious misconduct.

You forgot John Rowland, Governor of CT
Della I believe that every state has a Governor, Senator , Congress person, etc. that they aren’t very proud of.🤔
How about Marion Barry from MD?
…and the number of mugshots to come from efforts of a rebuilt FBI & DOJ is going to increase the current list light years beyond these 6.
Most of the politicians I’ve seen are Scumbag of the earth. I’ll admit that a few start off with Nobel ideas when they are first elected, but sometime after they’ve been in the “swamp” for awhile D.C. starts to eat at their conscience and it just gets worse from then on.
What maybe is needed is term limits, that’s one idea, other people might have a better way to stop “career politicians”?
These days all politicians either Republicans or Democrats are locked into their parties’s partisan platform. To disagree or express independent thought risk being ostracized by their party. Morality and clear conscience is quickly abandoned giving way to self preservation. Today’s politicians are more concerned with maintaining their seats then taking a moral stand. The only option remaining is to vote them out of office at the next election cycle. Yet this option also feels redundant as whoever replaces the defeasted candidate will, more than likely quickly fall into the same political morass as it’s predecessor.
One doesn’t think there’s enough room to name all the dirty politicians and officials. Hell just the look at the names on the sex island list and on the plane. Then all them with child porn and drag Queen bs. or even them with their perverted sick fetishs only they know about. It’s a sick world we live in and it’s only goingvto get worse befor it gets better
you forgot Marion berry mayor of DC…doing coke
Eugene Debs wasn’t running from the Atlanta prison. He was running for president of the US while a resident of the prison. Ha ha. Don’t know if he thought of running from the prison.
Trump is perhaps the most corrupt President in American history. My father and grandfather were both life long Republicans that lived for the Party, however if they were alive today to see what they Party has be turned into they would be in tears. The Party of Lincoln has been shamed to no ends. An American President of the US indicted on 94 felony counts over three states with trails to come and the Party is still supporting him? Are you out of your minds? Have you guys gone crazy? What an outrage and disgrace for our Nation abroad to look at the Great Democracy of the World and have a crazy man trying to lead it. Shame on America if anyone dare let this Happen. America has always been great, we don’t need a clown car to make up a slogan to follow over a cliff. Very Sad for America, Wake up Dump MAGA it’s a fantasy…….
