Man this took long enough. I haven't lived in Phoenix for over four years and he was being checked out for this crap back then.
Former congressman gets 3 years in prison on corruption charges
A former U.S. congressman from Arizona was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for convictions of public corruption.
Rick Renzi, once a three-term Republican in the House, was fined $25,000 in addition to the prison sentence.
Renzi’s co-defendant and business partner, James Sandlin, a 62-year-old real estate investor, was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Both men are scheduled to begin their sentences in January.
Why is it white collar criminals don't leave the court room in handcuffs beginning their sentence right then and there? What a jacked up judicial system we have.

"I'm not wise enough to know why good people do bad things — I think character and avarice have something to do with it," Bury said. "That's what happened here. Two good men committed bad acts."
didn't know Cooch would succeed his crooked boss
he isn't. But just think of all the insurance proceeds Mcauliffe will be able to collect off stealing the identities of terminal ill patients now that he has state databases to work with.
It's already started on another Democrat in office before he's in office..
You guys are consistent..
When did you get your talking points..
Maybe cooch should have been nicer to the "nice" libertarians voting for sarvis .

Well, one Scaliwag down. How many more to go?
While President Cheney and Vice President Rumsfeld was pissing our national treasures away in Iraq for The United Interests of Halliburton, (as Buttboy Bush was partialing out our national surplus,) while we watched our retirement savings and home values being squandered by a deregulated Wall Street bunch of pirates with flag pins on their left lapels, this guy was neck deep in his own hustle.
Never forget these ruthless politicians and their types. Yeah, your kneejerk reaction is to think Republican as that is the nature of the GOP beast. But they are ALL crooks IMO. Democrats too. I don't trust any of them.
Yeah, the flag pins are de riguere. I remember Obama didn't wear one during his first presidential campaign and the rightwing noise machine went wild. I wish he had resisted their idiotic attack and refused to wear one, ever.
I'm have tempted to have a rule -- never to vote for any politician who has to be reminded he's in the US by wearing a flag pin.
I also think there's some kind of law: the more assiduous the politician is about wearing his flag pin, the more likely it is that he's a crook.
Honest politicians never get elected or even close.
I ran TWICE in the last year on Total Transparency. And came in dead last both times.
All elections are rigged by the powers that be so only their candidates stand a chance.
My plan was to video everything and post it on youtube.
Nope not one politician would stand up to an audit by WatchDogs / WhistleBlowers with a camcorder. They are all bad.
Name one good one and I'll come do a video audit. Bet you won't find ONE.
