The Faces of Corruption

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a 93-page report entitled Beyond DeLay: The 13 Most Corrupt Members of Congress, documenting the egregious, unethical and possibly illegal activities of the most tainted Members of Congress. For the first time, CREW has compiled and analyzed all these members’ transgressions in tandem with the federal laws and congressional rules they may have violated.Three California lawmakers are named by the ethics watchdog. A spokesman for one senator says the report is 'pure politics.'

At the same time Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is facing questions from the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission about his sale of stock in his family's hospital company one month before its price fell sharply.
During his 11-year Senate tenure, Dr. Frist, a heart surgeon, has worked on many health-related issues, always denying that his HCA interests posed a conflict of interest.
