(snip)
Over the past two years, FBI investigations have led to corruption convictions for more than 1,000 government employees, according to bureau figures. Corruption indictments are up 40 percent.

(snip)
The FBI's latest strategic plan lists "combat public corruption on all levels" as the bureau's highest-ranking criminal priority, ahead of such things as fighting transnational crime organizations (read "the Mafia") and white-collar crime.

Over the past 18 months, some 200 agents have been added to the 400 already working on public corruption cases, according to FBI data.

This new emphasis is due to the fact that "public corruption is different than other crimes," said FBI director Robert Mueller in a May 11 speech in San Diego. "It does not just strike at the heart of good government - it can strike at the security of our communities and our nation."

6. Cheney, cooperate criminal

Both Cheney and Bush are responsible for arming Hussein with deadly WMD as well as many of the Bush appointed cabinet members. If these cons were investigated they would never have been eligable for public office at any time.

The FBI is a day late and dollar short on investagating the GOP crime lords.

5. Did you notice

Given President Clinton's own legal problems while in office, his administration wasn't interested in allowing the FBI to go after corruption in the GOP- controlled Congress, she added. But now, "political gloves are off," says Sloan.

They are blaming CLINTON for the corruption that has flourished under BUSH.

All hail the power of the Clenis!

Still controlling everything almost 6 years out of office!
