[panader0]

"A federal jury in Tucson convicted former U.S. Rep. Rick Renzi on more than half a dozen corruption charges accusing him of using his office for personal financial gain and looting a family insurance business to help pay for his 2002 campaign."

This is from A.P. I don't know how to link it.
This prick went to school in the same area where I live.
One of my younger buddies went to high school with him and told me he was a prick back then too. This buddy has done a few short stretches in the can (possession), and is delighted that Renzi may be doing time soon too.

Former Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., was convicted Tuesday of federal corruption charges involving land deals and his family insurance business.

Renzi, 55, was convicted of 17 of 32 counts in U.S. District Court in Tucson. His defense team said in a statement that while Renzi was acquitted of 15 counts, "we are disappointed by every guilty verdict."

Renzi, who served on the House Intelligence Committee during his three terms in Congress from 2003 to 2009, was released pending sentencing, which was scheduled for Aug. 19, and had no comment, according to the Arizona Republic.

"Former Congressman Renzi's streak of criminal activity was a betrayal of the public trust and abuse of the political process," Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said in a statement. "After years of misconduct as a businessman, political candidate and member of Congress, Mr. Renzi now faces the consequences for breaking the laws that he took an oath to support and defend."

Most of the counts carry maximum sentences of 20 years in prison.
