Former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA) was sentenced to 8 years, 4 months in federal prison and will be required to pay $1.8 million in restitution. This is the longest sentence ever for a member of Congress. This case is just the tip of the iceberg–Congress full of similar corrupt politicians, some of whom are in similar trouble and others of whom will only be exposed later.
There’s a nice collection of Cunningham data at Talking Points Memo.
