So Sen. Corburn helped in the bribe/hush money payment by Sen. Ensign ...

[Botany]

..... to the husband of the staffer Ensign was having an affair w/ and that money
came from Ensign's parents as Sen. Ensign was getting jobs for the man who was blackmailing
him and the man's son too?


"And Mr. Ensign allowed Senator Tom Coburn, a friend and fellow conservative Christian, to serve as an intermediary
with the Hamptons in May in discussing a large financial settlement, to help them rebuild their lives."

2. I am going to need a scorecard for all the twists and turns.

It gets better .... Ensign allowed the blackmailer (his lover's husband) to lobby him in violation of the law.

Good thing that both Ensign and Coburn are born again Christians from the C street house.
