We should put this guy Moore in jail for the rest of his life and let that be a lesson to the rest of them! Anybody in office or supporting a office held should not proper from it we should have a law! But at least it was less than a million I wonder if we will ever see the crates of cash we sent to Iraq for Halliburton?

They actually caught one. Get busy and get the rest because there are thousands to go.

Just another Chicago Democrat...

How's this news? This is business as usual in my hometown.

Wow...all the politicians from IL are scammers and all are democrats....I think there is a pattern developing

[hopepad08]

And what did Rep. Danny Davis have to do with this.

[hidenout]

Apparently he and Moore were drinking buddies. And....

"He is currently Senior Policy Advisor to Representative Danny K. Davis (7th District, Illinois), and he serves as the Congressman’s Representative to the Committee on Ways and Means. Among his responsibilities, Bernard Moore is the Congressman’s 'pen,' writing legislation, policy reports, floor statements, talking points, and letters to other members of Congress."

Lie down with dogs, and you'll probably get a few fleas.

POCKET change, compared to Harriette Walters and HER pals! (50+million)

And, the only way to fix it is budget cuts, but hold your breath for that...

So this is why Congressman Davis withdrew his name to replace Tod Stroger or Roland Burris.

This guy had skills and got results, and he did it in classic style

It's the Chicago way!

You knew it was a democrat the second you didn't see gop, conservative, right wing, sprawled across the headline.

[Hawklord Tst]

jeez, talk about greedy

Hopefully, Mr. Moore, or whatever his name is, will have about 10 years to work on future sentencing guidelines and felon rehabilitation. I'm sure Danny didn't know a thing about this.
