Not satisfied with just an internal congressional ethics investigation, the public interest group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has called on the Justice Department to look into the claims that Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) paid his former mistress $25,000 when she left her job with his campaign PAC.
Under the Federal Election Campaign Act, individual contributions to PACs are capped at $5,000. “The knowing and willful failure to report contributions totaling $25,000 or more in a calendar year is a federal crime,” CREW says, “punishable by up to 5 years in jail.”
Turns out the sex was not the juiciest part of this scandal.

These government officials such as this guy and Sanford are not just having affairs, they are abandoning their positions to do it, and using Tax Payer money to have their fun. If lying, cheating, and using the hard earned money of their contstituents is not enough for them to be unseated, what is? What if this was Clinton? How effective can these people be now too with all the drama following their lives? Mistresses, missing money, tasks being ignored that now need to be attended to-Really? They need to go!
