Former GOP Rep Has Spent $170K on Defense
From NBC's Phoenix affiliate:
Former Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth is confirming for 12 News that he is cooperating with a federal investigation involving former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.Hayworth's new campaign finance report shows almost $170,000 in payments to a Washington law firm since his defeat last November by Democrat Harry Mitchell. Hayworth says the bills are connected to a Department of Justice request for 12 years worth of documents covering his legislative work with the Congressional Native American Caucus.
Hayworth said today, "I wanted to accommodate the request as soon as possible because I thought it was important to clear up questions. I've done nothing wrong, and I don't expect there to be any further action."
National Journal reported in April that prosecutors were making "new" inquiries into Hayworth's relationship with Jack Abramoff. Ex-Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT), who joined Hayworth in early retirement, has also been spending loads of old campaign dollars on his defense.

Be "mine." I know you're "dying" for me.

Steve5117 wrote on July 16, 2007 8:15 PM:The picture of Duke Cunningham on the other thread picture is probably what J.D. Hayworth will look like in 15-20 years. JD's complexion will go well with an orange jumpsuit.

Steve5117 -
I so agree. I see the face of someone who funneled more than money. Yes, it would complement the orange jumpsuit quite well.

With scumbags like Vitter a very large F for fornicaror, worn on his back would be fitting.
After listening to Wendy try to deflect the subject to the media invading their lives and the comments she made about being a Lorena Bobbit type, I have decided that the Vitters must be swingers.
Stay on the story MSM, this really is more newsworthy than Paris Hilton. Find out where the swingers meet and look for diapers in the trash.
Is that worthy of a snark?

and: (WH + OVP)K + DoJ = Treason
Then: No Juctice + Treason = Impeachment
