Renzi concealed $200,000 payment.

Renzi concealed $200,000 payment.
“Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.) failed to disclose a $200,000 payment he received from a business partner in 2005 in apparent violation of House ethics rules. Prosecutors could use the omission as evidence that Renzi intended to conceal a transaction he knew to be controversial or even improper.” The fact that Renzi failed to report the payment fuels suspicions that the business partner, James Sandlin, “gave Renzi an illegal gift in exchange for action Renzi took to help Sandlin sell a $4 million parcel of land.”

What was that tune some years back about the ocean front property in Arizona?
April 26th, 2007 at 11:46 am“I don’t recall receiving $200,000.”
April 26th, 2007 at 11:47 amAnother republican songbird, about to sing his heart out to prosecutors in exchange for a deal…
April 26th, 2007 at 11:50 amHow in the HELL can this guy actually continue to serve????Shouldn’t his “family time” be calling him?!?!?!!?!?
April 26th, 2007 at 11:50 amThat’s not my money! I was just holding it for my partner! Rep Jefferson had 95 grand in his freezer, I only had 200 grand, I mean it’s not mine! The democrats framed me! It’s a left wing conspiracy! I voted against the 200 grand before I accepted it, I mean, someone left it on my door step! It’s Bill Clinton’s fault! If you investigate me, you don’t support the troops!
April 26th, 2007 at 11:54 amThis is what you get when stupid people vote in corrupt repukes, you get what you voted for, corruption, and we all know that repukes love their corrupt politicians.

Good.
April 26th, 2007 at 11:56 amHow many Republicans have to be locked up before their foul stench is cleaned up?
April 26th, 2007 at 11:58 amMaybe all the convicted republicans can form their own Big House gang, to keep from being anally raped so much.
Oh, I forgot: some of them will be looking forward to it.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:01 pm“How many Republicans have to be locked up before their foul stench is cleaned up?”
ALL of them. The GOP is a criminal conspiracy and should be RICO’ed.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:01 pmBTW,
For those of you who didn’t see it last night, or hear about it, Olbermann laid the smackdown on Giuliani for his ridiculous fear mongering. I highly recommend everyone check it out!!

yeah, but clinton lost 100,000 dollars in a land deal.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:06 pmHave no idea what point you’re trying to make, Bobo the non-hacker.
Is it criminal to lose money in a deal? Wait, come to think of it, that’s rather devilish, losing $100K to cover up the trail of your much bigger, broader political agenda – the destruction of the US! You’re clearly hot on the trail of something BIG here, m’boy.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:13 pmwhat was criminal was spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to catch clinton in a perjury trap so the repukes could impeach him.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:17 pm#13…bob was being funny by imitating a troll.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:18 pmOkay. It’s hard to tell sometimes. It’s also next to impossible to talk w/ righties these days. They’re getting so desperate and shrill.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:31 pm#16…agreed.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:40 pmWhen two politicians of opposing parties are standing side by side the Democrat is easily identified. He is the one with his hands in his own pockets. Watch Renzi’s hands.
April 26th, 2007 at 12:46 pmhe’ll just call it an “unintentional oversight”
April 26th, 2007 at 1:03 pmHe should be asked if he reported any of the payment as interest on his tax return. If he didn’t, it’s hard for him to argue it was repayment of a debt as his lawyer is attempting to assert.

William Jefferson (D-La.) to forfeit his lone remaining committee assignment, even as two Republican lawmakers who similarly face intense FBI scrutiny have relinquished their posts in recent days.”
April 26th, 2007 at 1:43 pm“Oh… THAT money? Petty change, it’s I forgot it in a pocket of an old jacket I don’t use anymore.”

When you go from a *gossip*, source, to a *news* source, let us know Patrick1. When you figure out the difference, maybe you won’t be so *gullible* in your support for the “Culture of Corruption”. Hypocrite. Jake*ss.
