Large and incomplete list of Republicans who have been indicted, or are under investigation




1. Lying to Congress: cost of Medicare bill
2. Crony Appointment: Michael Brown, fundraiser, to FEMA head
3. Disastrous Legislation: Healthy Forests
4. Theft of 2000 Election
5. Theft of 2004 Election
6. Rescinding the Davis-Bacon act requiring paying employees of govt. contractors the area's prevailing wage for work. Not even sure its legal for a president to unilaterally suspend an act of congress.

Thought for a while that a master list would be good. There have been so many that we may forget last week's disaster to focus on the current one. Perhaps the first few words of each entry could set forth the general topic (ie Lying to Congress, Crony Appointments, Deceipt, False Statements, Disastrous Legislation, etc).

Might get unwieldy pretty quickly. Perhaps each topic deserves its own thread (War Misdeeds, Lies to Congress, False Public Statements, Disastrous Legislation, etc). Yep, I think so. -- wiggs
