Ex-defense contractor drops hints of another major corruption scandal.

Mitchell Wade, the corrupt former lobbyist who plead guilty in 2006 to
bribing former Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA), is reportedly assisting
“the government in investigating five other members of Congress,”
according to a memorandum filed on Wednesday. The 42-page sentencing
memo filed by Wade’s attorneys says that the other unnamed members are
under investigation for “corruption similar to that of Mr.
Cunningham.” Seth Hettena suggests two of those five include former
Reps. Katherine Harris (R-FL) and Virgil Goode (R-VA). Hettena also
reports that the sentencing memo contains hints of a bigger scandal to
come:

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.
