Arizona GOP lawmaker indictedStory Highlights
Rep. Rick Renzi indicted on federal charges Friday

Charges include conspiracy, money laundering and extortion



WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Rick Renzi was indicted Friday on multiple federal charges, law enforcement sources tell CNN.

In a 35-count indictment handed up by a grand jury in Arizona, Renzi is charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering extortion and insurance fraud.

The indictment stem from Renzi's efforts to use his position in Congress to promote land deals in Arizona by a former business partner, according to the sources.

The Arizona Republican has been under an ethical cloud ever since a family business was raided earlier this year by the FBI, which is investigating whether he used his federal office for personal gain.

Renzi has never admitted to wrongdoing.

Renzi, a three-term member of the House, announced in August that he would not seek re-election.

Renzi has pending Federal criminal charges against him for his involvement in a land-swap deal


Didn't Obama do about the same thing?

Thats what I heard too-- but either he insulated himself awful good, or it didn't happen- because you know that if there was anything tangible there to grab hold of and do a good smear- Hitlery would have done it by now...
She's getting desperate....

The Brits are having a ball with McCain and Renzi too- and now comparing the scandals...Apparently they know where Arizona is :wink:

It's the lobbyists, not the sex. Whether he cheated on his second wife like he admitted doing on his first isn't the point. As one wag put it, "it's not what McCain did to Iseman that matters, it's what he did for her." After all, this is a powerful Senator from the party that makes corruption an every month occurrence.


From the Guardian:
McCain In Oct. 2006: Renzi Has ' Tenacity, Honesty And Integrity Beyond Reproach'

This is Sen. John McCain. I'm calling to urge you to support my friend Rep. Rick Renzi for Congress. Rick has represented the first district of Arizona with tenacity, honesty and integrity beyond reproach. I work with Rick every day and can report to you his total dedication to the people of Arizona and the United States. Please join me in supporting rural Arizona's workhorse congressman on Nov. 7. [Paid for and authorized by Rick Renzi for Congress]."
