[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 73296, member: 1848"] Danny, I believe that Randy 'Duke' Cunningham has already pleaded guilty: [URL="http://news.findlaw.com/wp/docs/crim/uscnnghm112805plea.pdf"]http://news.findlaw.com/wp/docs/crim/uscnnghm112805plea.pdf[/URL] His resignation speech showed some class, at least. Perhaps some of the others under investigation in the Abramoff scandal will step forward and do the right thing. Here's his speech, worth reading, IMHO: [I]I am resigning from the House of Representatives because Ive compromised the trust of my constituents. [/I] [I]When I announced several months ago that I would not seek re-election, I publicly declared my innocence because I was not strong enough to face the truth.
