CunningScam has a happy ending.
The LA Times reports that Randy Cunningham will plead guilty to tax evasion in his political corruption case. And that is not all.
Cunningham "demanded and received" a bribe from a defense contractor who paid an inflated price for Cunningham's home in exchange for official favors, according to court papers.Throw the bum out of office and out on the street and good riddance!
The allegation was filed as part of a civil lawsuit in which federal prosecutors are attempting to seize Cunningham's current home in Rancho Santa Fe.
Prosecutors alleged that Cunningham and his wife, Nancy, took the illegal gains from the sale of their previous home in Del Mar Heights and used them to buy their current house. As a result, the new home should be forfeited, much as the government seizes property from drug dealers and other criminals, prosecutors claimed.
