AP Reporter: Katherine Harris under investigation for 'Duke Cunningham' style corruption chrages
Edited on Sat Nov-29-08 11:01 PM by garybeck
<................snip....................>

A 42-page sentencing memo filed by Wade’s attorneys says he aided the government in its investigation “of at least five other members of Congress” who were under investigation for “corruption similar to that of Mr. Cunningham.” These no doubt include Virgil Goode and Katherine “Pink Sugar” Harris. Wade wanted to open facilities in their districts and made $78,000 in “straw” contributions to grease the wheels. Neither Harris nor Goode has been charged with wrongdoing.

Prosecutors drop tantalizing hints about an even bigger, ongoing investigation. Wade was debriefed in 2006 and provided “moderately useful” background information in another “large and important corruption investigation” that also has not yet resulted in any charges.

1. The guy who replaced her in congress, fake moderate/used car salesman Vern Buchanan has issues too..
He was named one of the "20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress" by a watchdog group.

2. Krazy Kate? Where's she been?
She completely slithered out of the spotlight after her humiliating Senate defeat.
