Congressman Fattah Indicted

We would be remiss if we didn't note the following:

The U.S. Justice Department announced Wednesday that Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) and four of his associates were indicted on federal corruption charges in connection with an alleged racketeering scheme.

Fattah was charged with bribery, fraud, and money laundering, among other crimes, in a 29-count indictment. Fattah's congressional District Director Bonnie Bowser, his former aide Karen Nicholas, campaign contributor Robert Brand and lobbyist Herbert Vederman were also charged in the indictment.

Just a reminder that, despite evidence to the contrary, no party has a complete monopoly on bad behavior.
