Another Republican, another indictment
Don't they just seem to go together, like hot dogs and baseball. The latest Republican to be true to his party is Representative Rick Renzi R-AZ.
The prosecutors said a grand jury on Thursday returned a 35-count indictment accusing Mr. Renzi, 49, and two former associates of extortion, wire fraud, money-laundering and various conspiracies that could bring many years in prison and fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars upon conviction.In spite of his Republican affiliation, he can claim to have had sex with a woman at least 12 times.
The indictment asserts that Mr. Renzi was in financial trouble in 2005 “and needed a substantial infusion of funds to keep his insurance business solvent and to maintain his personal lifestyle.” The Congressman, who announced last August that he would not seek a fourth term, and his wife, Roberta, have 12 children. Mr. Renzi has denied any wrongdoing.
