San Diego-Area Rep. Cunningham Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy
By Elliot Spagat
The Associated Press

Monday 28 November 2005

Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham admitted taking $2.4 million in bribes as part of guilty pleas Monday in a case that grew from an investigation into the sale of his home to a wide-ranging conspiracy involving payments in cash, vacations and antiques.

Cunningham, 63, entered pleas in U.S. District Court to charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud and wire fraud, and tax evasion for underreporting his income in 2004.

I posted here in General because whenever I post somewhere else, seems like someone always gets snippy with me.

But it's still welcome news.

4. erg, well, I'm not sure you win, and I don't like Guiness

Sorry, I know, I'm uncultured, but what can I say, I'm from the midwest, I'm lucky I read and I drink Bud Light.

Actually, I was watching the site and hadn't seen it posted yet, so I might be the first. I'll let someone else post it on LBN, because I mean seriously, I was snipped at for posting other places when my posts seemed appropriate to me, so heck with it, General is fine for anyone paying attention.

If they let him plea-bargain without getting that guaranteed cooperation, they ought to join him in prison!
