 Disgraced Congressman ‘Wore a Wire’Posted on Jan 6, 2006Time: | Washington’s power players have always bragged about being well-wired, but for disgraced former congressman Duke Cunningham, “wired” wasn’t just a figure of speech. In a week when legislators are focused on the question of who else might be brought down by ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s cooperation with prosecutors as he seeks lenient sentencing over his two federal guilty pleas this week, sources tell Time that ex-Rep. Cunningham wore a wire to help investigators gather evidence against others just before copping his own plea. | more Previous item: Bush Administration Justifies Tax Cuts With Mediocre Employment Increases Next item: Seventeen U.S. Troops Killed in Iraq Over Weekend Elsewhere: .

Had he remained just a retired highly-decorated fighter pilot, Duke Cunningham would never have been associated with a certain well known drunken washout with an abbreviated (all records expunged) flying career.
Report thisNow this pathetic character will forever be known for his defective moral compass. The crash of his legacy was no accident. It was pilot error, pure and simple.

It is time to have a good old house cleaning. Isn’t their some agency responsible to look for graft and corruption? I hope this is not the only one wereing a wire. I know where I work their is and internal audit group that audits us continually just to make sure things like this does not happen and when it does something is done about it.

WILL HIS LOYALITY TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY INFLUENCE THE TYPE OF PRISON HE GOES TO?
