Congress For Sale: Who Else Was Bribed With Limos, Cash and Prostitutes?

High-level corruption and sleaze are alive and well in Washington D.C. -- and your member of Congress might just be the next one indicted. The newest scandal involves allegations that multiple members of Congress and high-ranking CIA officials were bribed with free limo rides1, hospitality suites at hotels in Washington, and prostitutes to induce them to steer federal contracts to undeserving businesses.

For more than a decade, defense contractors Brent Wilkes and Mitchell Wade bribed former Representative 'Duke' Cunningham with millions of dollars in return for fat government contracts for their companies. But apparently, Cunningham wasn't the only recipient, and the bribes offered weren't just financial.

Wilkes and Wade also hosted regular parties at hospitality suites at the Watergate and Westin hotels where powerful guests could play poker and it is alleged, avail themselves of the services of prostitutes. The third-ranking official in the CIA, Kyle Foggo, has admitted to being at these parties – but "just for poker." (Foggo, apparently, will now resign from the CIA.)

Ask Representatives Ney, Jefferson, and Doolittle, as well as Senator Burns, to resign.

because they might be indiscreet or subject to blackmail!
