Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted
Corrupt Politicians” for 2012
December 31, 2012
(Washington, DC) –
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes
government corruption, today released its 2012 list of Washington’s “Ten Most
Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list, in alphabetical order, includes:
·
Dishonorable Mentions for 2012 include:
In July 2012, the House Ethics Committee,
after a haphazard investigation, reported
that Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) had omitted information on his financial
disclosure forms over four years. However, the ethics committee took
no action because once caught, Rep. Buchanan evidently corrected the “errors.”
What, exactly, were the errors? In his disclosure statements for 2007, 2008,
2009 and 2010, Buchanan failed to report all of his positions or ownership
interests in six entities and income received from the entities.
In a separate matter, the committee
continues to investigate findings of the Office of Congressional Ethics,
Congress’s independent ethics review board, that there is “substantial
reason to believe that Representative Buchanan attempted to influence the
testimony of a witness in a proceeding before the FEC [Federal Election
Commission].”
The alleged violation occurred during an
FEC probe of Buchanan’s former business partner, Sam Kazran. According to
Kazran, during the FEC probe, Buchanan offered him a $2.9 million settlement in
a separate lawsuit if Kazran would lie about his role in a campaign cash
laundering scheme involving Buchanan’s Florida car dealerships. CNN
reports that the FBI is now conducting its own investigation into possible
federal witness tampering.
“The
final decisions on Solyndra were mine,” said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu
in his testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Oversight Committee on
November 17, 2011. And this should be his political epitaph. Chu’s decision to
pour $528 million tax dollars into a failing green energy boondoggle that went
belly-up in 2011 is indefensible and corrupt, especially in light of the fact
that Solyndra’s key investor (Tulsa billionaire George Kaiser) also happens to
be a major Obama campaign donor.
On March 12, 2012, Rep. Darrell Issa’s
(R-CA) Energy and Oversight Committee exposed the full extent of Chu’s
incompetence and corruption in a report citing
“numerous examples of dysfunction, negligence and mismanagement by DOE
[Department of Energy] officials, raising troubling questions about the
leadership at DOE and how it has administered its loan guarantee
programs.” The report accused Chu’s DOE of having “turned a blind eye to
the risks that have been glaringly apparent since the inception of the
program.”
Whether Chu indeed made the “final”
decision on Solyndra, or is simply protecting the president and his donor, this
is a scandal of a major magnitude. And yet, it is only the tip of the iceberg.
As Peter
Schweizer, author of the book Throw
Them All Out wrote, “According to the Department of
Energy’s own numbers … In the 1705 government-backed-loan [green energy]
program, $16.4 billion of the $20.5 billion in loans granted … went to
companies either run by or primarily owned by Obama financial
backers—individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama’s National Finance
Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN
Ambassador Susan Rice lied about the events surrounding the Benghazi massacre.
Hillary Clinton, the only First Lady to have been the subject of a grand jury
investigation, is a regular visitor to our Most Corrupt list, while this is a
first-time appearance for Ms. Rice.
One day after the attack, on September
12, 2012, Sec. Clinton said the following: “Some have sought to justify this
vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in
Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.
America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of
our nation. But let me be clear — there is no justification for this, none.”
She then joined President Obama in taping a television ad apologizing to the
Muslim world for the obscure video, spending a reported $70,000 in
taxpayer funds on the ad buys.
And then Rice repeated the Benghazi
lie, over
and over again on every major television news network. Hillary
Clinton’s and Rice’s lies about one of the most significant terrorist attacks
since 9/11 are, perhaps, the scandal of the year out of this administration.
Little wonder that in his October 2012 testimony Eric
Nordstrom, a former a top security official in Libya who was criticized for
seeking more security in Benghazi, felt compelled to tell the House Oversight
Committee that conversations he had with people in Washington led him to
believe that it was “abundantly clear we were not going to get resources until
the aftermath of an incident. How thin does the ice have to get before someone
falls through?”
He said he was so exasperated at one
point he told a colleague that “for me the Taliban is on the inside of the
building.”
A regular on our annual Top Ten Corrupt
list, Holder shamelessly operates the most blatantly politicized Department of
Justice (DOJ) in a generation. And, with the Operation Fast and Furious
scandal, it is no exaggeration that his agency has blood on its hands.
Fast and Furious was a reckless
DOJ/Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) “gun-running”
scheme in which guns were sold to Mexican drug cartels and others, apparently
in the hope that the guns would end up at crime scenes. Well, they did – and it
appears that the guns were involved in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican
citizens, as well as the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was
killed in a shootout with Mexican criminals in December 2010. On December 5,
2012, CBS
News reported that 17 DOJ and ATF officials had been faulted in an
Inspector General investigation of the Fast and Furious scandal. But, the man
at the top remains unscathed, even after becoming the first attorney general in
history to be cited for criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to divulge
documents about DOJ lies to Congress about Fast and Furious.
Every day that Eric Holder remains at the
helm, the Department of Justice sinks further into the abyss of cronyism,
corruption, and deceit. And it is well past time for him to go.
On November 21, 2012, Rep. Jesse Jackson
resigned from Congress in disgrace, acknowledging in his statement that he had
made his “share of mistakes.” This may well be the understatement of year.
Jackson has been under federal investigation for alleged campaign finance
improprieties, including reportedly using donor dollars to remodel his home and
purchase personal gifts, a potential criminal violation. Add to that the fact
that Jackson was one of the major figures implicated in the massive scandal
involving jailed former Illinois Governor Rod “Blago” Blagojevich, who was
brought to justice in 2011 for a number of crimes, including his efforts to
“sell” President Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder. The
evidence strongly suggests Jackson was one of those bidders.
Because Jackson refused to resign before
the November elections, Illinois taxpayers will now be faced with costs of a
special election: estimated
to cost $5.1 million.
The late great Chicago newspaperman Mike
Royko famously said that the official motto of Chicago should be “Ubi Est Mea —
Where’s mine?” Clearly, Jackson and his cohorts have taken this motto to heart.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) joins the
Judicial Watch’s list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians for
2012” in what might be considered a sort of “Lifetime Achievement Award.”
As far back as 2007, Sen. Menendez
was investigated by
a federal grand jury for illegally steering lobbying business to his former
chief of staff Kay LiCausi, with whom he was also romantically linked. In just
a few years, her firm reported $1.3 million in business with nearly $300,000
coming from a New Jersey medical center that was later awarded government
funding thanks to a push from her former
boss and lover.
In 2010, Menendez and his colleague in
corruption, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), allocated $8
million for a public walkway and park space adjacent to upscale,
waterfront condos built by a developer whose executives have donated generously
to their political campaigns. The veteran legislators have received about
$100,000 in contributions from the developer, according to federal election
records. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the developer’s Washington D.C.
lobbyist was a longtime senior aide to Menendez.
And to top it all off, in October
2012, The Daily Caller broke the story
that two women from the Dominican Republic claimed that the senator had
procured their services while on Spring Break at the luxurious Casa de Campo.
Then in mid-December, the Associated Press revealed
that Menendez employed an illegal immigrant as an unpaid intern in his Senate
office who was a registered sex offender.
Were there a “Hall of Fame” for broken
promises, here is one that would get in on the first ballot: “Let me say it as
simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of
this presidency” (President Barack Obama, January 21, 2009). Instead of
transparency and the rule of law over the past four years, we have witnessed
the greatest expansion of government in modern political history and,
consequently, an explosion of government secrecy, scandals, and abuses of
power. Among the low-lights:
·
Illegal recess appointments: Perhaps former Attorney
General Ed Meese and Todd Graziano summed it up best in their January 5,
2012, Washington
Post guest commentary: “President Obama’s attempt to unilaterally appoint
three people to seats on the National Labor Relations Board and Richard Cordray
to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (after the Senate blocked
action on his nomination) is more than an unconstitutional attempt to
circumvent the Senate’s advice-and-consent role. It is a breathtaking violation
of the separation of powers and the duty of comity that the executive owes to
Congress.”
·
Illegal immigration: In mid-June, Obama announced
that by executive decree – and in apparent violation of his oath of office –
his administration would stop deporting and begin granting work permits to
younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. According to The AP, “the
policy change … bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the
so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan …” Lest anyone doubt
that Obama knew he was overriding the law of the land, in March,
2011, he said, “There are enough laws on the books by Congress that
are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that
for me to simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates
would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”
·
Unprecedented secrecy: Judicial Watch has had to file
almost 1,000 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and nearly 100 lawsuits
against the Obama administration on issues ranging from Obamacare to the
continued funding of the criminal ACORN network; from tracking Wall Street
bailout money to the unconstitutional use of czars; to White House visitor
logs; to the attacks on the integrity of our nation’s elections. This
president touts transparency but condones law-breaking of open records laws by
his administration.
·
Unconstitutional czars: As far back as 2009, Reuters reported,
“Name a top issue and President Barack Obama has probably got a ‘czar
responsible for tackling it.” By
the time the Judicial Watch Special Report President Obama’s Czars was
published in October 2011, the number of Obama czars had skyrocketed to 45.
Largely unconfirmed by and unaccountable to the Senate, many of Obama’s czars
are often outside the reach of FOIA. Some of these czars exercise
unprecedented and unconstitutional control over major aspects of government
policy and programs. And a number of the czars have been linked to scandals,
thefts and kickbacks, flagrant and offensive statements, conflicts of interest,
and radical leftist political ideologies and policies.
·
Use of Executive Privilege to protect Eric Holder:
On June
20, 2012, Barack Obama acquiesced to a plea from Attorney General Eric Holder
and asserted “executive privilege” to protect the Attorney General from
being prosecuted for failing to provide Congress with Fast and Furious
documents. On March 22, 2011, when asked by aUnivision
TV if he had been informed of the Holder gunrunning program, Obama
bluntly stated, “Absolutely not. This is a pretty big government, the United
States government. I’ve got a lot of moving parts.” So, as Judge Andrew
Napolitano said on Fox
News, “They can’t have it both ways. If the President was not personally
involved, executive privilege does not apply.” To this day, President Obama
refuses to detail the specific documents he is withholding from Congress.
The list could go on ad infinitum – with
Benghazigate, bailouts, abusing the perks of office for luxury vacations for
his family, and, of course, his personal involvement in the Solyndra scandal.
But the bottom line is this: The federal government under Barack Obama is off
the rails and out of control. And now, with Obama having been given the
“flexibility” of a second term, it can only be expected to get worse.
A July 30, 2012, headline in the Las Vegas Review-Journal alerted
Nevadans to Sen. Harry Reid’s latest influence-peddling scandal – this one
involving ENN Energy Group, a Chinese “green energy” client of the Nevada law
firm of which Reid’s son, Rory, is a principal.
As Reuter’s reported
on August 31, 2012, “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent
advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying
his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada. His son, a lawyer with
a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a
9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised
value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county
commission.”
“Well below appraised value” is a considerable
understatement. The deal Rory Reid put together for the firm his dad brought to
town saw ENN purchase the site for just $4.5 million – a mere fraction of
separate appraisals that valued the property at $29.6 million and $38.6
million. Even with all of that, however, the project has failed to move forward
as rapidly as Harry and Rory Reid would like – for the simple reason that there
is currently no
market in Nevada for the green energy ENN claims it could produce.
But, of course, funneling money to the
Reid family is nothing new for the Senate Majority Leader. As the Washington Postreported
in a February 7, 2012, story titled “Public
projects, private interests:”
In 2004 and 2005, the Senate majority
leader secured $21.5 million to build a bridge over the Colorado River, linking
the gambling resort town of Laughlin, Nev., with Bullhead City, Ariz. Reid owns
160 acres of undeveloped land in Bullhead City.
And according to Peter
Schweizer, writing for Fox News on December 12, 2012, “Sen. Reid has
sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted
organizations that one of his sons, Key Reid, [RW1] either lobbies for or is
affiliated with.
Needless to say, the well-entrenched Sen.
Reid has been a repeat Top Ten offender.
On October 24, 2012, the
Florida ethics commission found “probable cause” that Rep. David Rivera (R-FL)
had committed 11 violations of state ethics laws during his time in
the Florida legislature. This comes amidst reports that Rivera remains under
federal investigation over his personal and campaign finances. And, in a
separate matter, the congressman is under investigation by the FBI for secretly
funding the campaign of Justin Lamar Sternad, a candidate running against Joe
Garcia in the Democratic primary earlier this year. Garcia defeated Rivera in the
November election.
The “probable cause” findings stem from
an investigation by the FBI and the IRS regarding Rep. Rivera’s dealings with
the Flagler Dog Track, now known as the Magic City Casino. The basis for the
investigation relates to payments reportedly totaling as much as $1 million
made by the casino to Millennium Marketing in the guise of a consulting
contract. Most of the money is said to have been paid in 2008. Millennium
Marketing is owned by Rivera’s mother and godmother, and Rivera supposedly
benefited from the arrangement, and is thus the subject of a tax evasion
inquiry.
For a long time, Rep. Rivera denied ever
receiving any income from the dog track, but just before heading to Congress,
Rivera admitted receiving $132,000 in “undisclosed loans” from Millennium. He
claims he paid the money back. Investigators are also taking a close look at
Rivera’s campaign spending, including $75,000 he paid in 2010 “to a now-defunct
consulting company owned by the daughter of a top aide.”
On September 12, 2012, Secretary of
Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius became the
first member of the President’s cabinet in U.S. history to have been
found guilty of violating the Hatch Act when she campaigned for the reelection
of Barack Obama in her official capacity of Secretary of HHS. According
to Politico,
“During a speech to the Human Rights Campaign Gala in North Carolina in
February, Sebelius . . . outlined the Obama administration’s accomplishments so
far and said, ‘One of the imperatives is to make sure that we not only come
together here in Charlotte to present the nomination to the president, but we
make sure that in November he continues to be president for another four
years.’”
After the speech, Sebelius tried to cover
her tracks by reclassifying the event from “official” to “political,” and
claiming her appearance was in her personal capacity. The scheme didn’t work.
According to the official statement put
out by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel: “The Office of Special Counsel (OSC)
sent findings to the President today from its investigation of complaints of
prohibited political activity by Secretary of Health and Human Services
Kathleen Sebelius. OSC concluded that Secretary Sebelius violated the Hatch Act
when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her
official capacity on February 25, 2012. The Hatch Act prohibits federal
employees from using their official authority or influence to affect the
outcome of an election.”
Thoroughly unapologetic, Ms. Sebelius
justified her transgression by informing the OSC that she simply “got a little caught
up in the notion that the gains which had been made would clearly not continue
without the president’s reelection.” In other words, her Obamacare agenda
took precedence over the law. Normally, when a government official is found
violating the Hatch Act, the
punishment is termination. How did President Obama respond? There
was no
punishment whatsoever.
Dishonorable Mentions:
On May
31, 2012, a jury in the corruption trial of former U.S. Senator from North
Carolina and presidential candidate John Edwards said that it could not agree
on a verdict for five of six counts, and U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles
was forced to declare a mistrial. But, while Edwards may have been partially
exonerated (he was acquitted on one count), he was certainly not vindicated.
John Edwards conducted an illicit affair
with campaign employee Rielle Hunter that resulted in the birth of their
daughter. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Edwards reportedly persuaded his former
political aide Andrew Young to claim that he was the father of the child, and
not Edwards. The ruse failed and Edwards was forced to admit to the whole
sordid mess. The focus then shifted to whether Edwards unlawfully diverted
campaign funds to hide the affair.
Edwards denies the claim, but according
to witness testimony Hunter and Young received nearly a million dollars in
“hush” payments from philanthropist Rachel “Bunny” Mellon and Texas billionaire
Fred Baron, two campaign donors who did not want to see the scandal derail
Edwards’ pursuit of the White House. According to an excellent
analysis by Hans Von Spakovsky at the Heritage Foundation, the money paid
to Edwards’ mistress was “dishonest, dishonorable, and illegal:”
“Federal law…prohibits the conversion of
campaign funds to any personal use (2 U.S.C. §439a). Most important, FEC
regulations state that the payment of a personal expense by any person other
than the candidate is considered a contribution to the candidate, unless the
payment would have been made irrespective of the candidacy (11 CFR 113.1). As
the FEC said in a prior advisory opinion (AO 2008-17), the key question is,
‘Would the third party pay the expense if the candidate was not running for
Federal office?’”
In short, John Edwards may have eluded
the reach of the law. But, in the courtroom of public opinion he remains one of
the “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2012.
Though Staten Island’s Rep. Michael Grimm
managed to eke out a reelection victory on November 6, it wasn’t because he had
failed to supply his opponent with serious issues of campaign corruption.
During the race, Grimm was the subject of an FBI investigation into allegations
that his 2010 congressional campaign had accepted contributions over the legal
limit and from noncitizen donors via Ofer Biton, a former aide to a prominent
Israeli rabbi, in exchange for helping Biton obtain a green card.
According to ABC
News, “In early 2012, the New
York Times reported that Grimm, a devout Catholic and former
agent for the FBI, allegedly accepted illegal donations from members of an
Upper East Side rabbi’s congregation. Ofer Biton, an Israeli citizen and a top
aide to the prominent Orthodox rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, came under
investigation by the FBI over allegations that Biton embezzled millions of
dollars from the congregation. It is said that while campaigning with Biton,
the Grimm campaign collected over $500,000 in campaign contributions.”
According a Gallup
Poll, a full 62 per cent of the American people believe that stopping
illegal immigration should be a top priority of the U.S. government.
Unfortunately for the American people, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet
Napolitano is not numbered among that 62%. And she is the person who is supposed to be
enforcing the law. Last year, Napolitano opened the floodgates of illegal
immigration by having the Department of Homeland Security review all cases then
before the immigration courts with an eye towards halting the deportation of
many illegal immigrants allegedly with no criminal backgrounds. (JW uncovered
records demonstrating this to be an utter
lie. Many of the illegals let off the hook were convicted of violent
crimes.)
Not satisfied with skirting the law in
2011, Napolitano decided to abandon it altogether in 2012. Accordingly, on June
15, 2012, she announced: “By this memorandum,
I am setting forth how, in the exercise of our prosecutorial discretion, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should enforce the Nation’s immigration
laws against certain young people who were brought to this country as children
and know only this country as home.”
In short, this amounted to blanket
“temporary” amnesty for illegals under the age of 30. With her single
statement, she simply declared upwards of one million illegal aliens entirely
legal. Just like that. No legislation. No debate. No votes. No court rulings.
The Constitution of the United States notwithstanding. And, in so doing, she
violated the Oath of Office she had taken when sworn in as secretary of
Homeland Security on January 21, 2009: “I, do solemnly swear that I will
support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of
evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office
on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
General Petraeus was forced to resign
after news leaked of his long-term extramarital affair with Paula Broadwell, a
writer and military analyst who penned a Petraeus biography. Compounding the
scandal are questions involving whether Petraeus’ mistress had improper access
to classified information from the nation’s top spy. At the University
of Denver on July 28, Broadwell said, “I had access to everything, it was
my experience not to leak it, not to violate my mentor, if you will.”
There is also a major question about
whether Petraeus misled Congress about the Benghazi attack in his initial
congressional testimony. On September 14, just days after the attack on the
consulate, Petraeus briefed congressional intelligence leaders, reportedly
telling them he believed the attack was spontaneous and not carefully
pre-planned. Yet on Friday, November 16, in private hearings before Senate and
House intelligence committees, Petraeus changed his story. According to Fox
News: “Petraeus’ testimony both challenges the Obama administration’s
repeated claims that the attack was a “spontaneous” protest over an anti-Islam
video, and according to [New York Rep. Peter] King conflicts with his own
briefing to lawmakers on Sept. 14. Sources have said Petraeus, in that
briefing, also described the attack as a protest that spun out of control.”
Judicial Watch uncovered evidence that
Elizabeth Warren gave false statements under oath regarding Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) activities when she served as the agency’s interim
director. According to the records, Warren and the CFPB were intimately
involved in brokering a 50-state settlement underway with the nation’s largest
mortgage lenders related to alleged improper foreclosure procedures. This
evidence seems to contradict Warren’s statements before Congress suggesting her
office responded to
requests for advice, but did not seek to push its views.
During a March
16, 2011, hearing of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on
Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, Ms. Warren downplayed her agency’s
involvement in the state settlement negotiations: “We have been asked for
advice by the Department of Justice, by the Secretary of the Treasury, and by
other federal agencies. And when asked for advice, we have given our advice.”
But this does not come close to telling
the full story.
Emails obtained by Judicial Watch from
several states suggest her agency’s participation was far more intense and
aggressive. Warren called emergency meetings by phone and in person with
attorneys general nationwide to contribute unsolicited input on the matter. The
documents also indicate that Warren’s office insisted on keeping its contact
with the state attorneys general secret. For example, in a February
25, 2011, email to the Executive Committee of the National Association
of Attorneys General (NAAG), Iowa Assistant Attorney General Patrick Madigan
wrote: “Elizabeth Warren would like to present the CFPB’s view on loan
modifications.” Two weeks earlier, a similar email was distributed to NAAG’s
Loss Mitigation Subgroup on Warren’s behalf. In an email on February 15
regarding that meeting, Madigan points out that “The CFPB wanted me to stress
the confidential nature of this briefing.”
In early December, Democrats chose the
scandal-plagued Rep. Maxine Waters to be the ranking member on the House
Financial Services Committee despite her many transgressions over the years.
The influential congresswoman has helped family members make more than $1 million through
business ventures with companies and causes that she has helped, according to
her hometown newspaper.
In August 2010, Waters’ influence
peddling earned the attention of a subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee
which charged Rep. Waters with three counts of violating House rules and ethics
regulations in connection with her use of power and influence on
behalf of OneUnited Bank. After a highly controversial investigation,
plagued by accusations of impropriety and corruption, on September 12,
the committee failed
to hold Waters to account for steering a $12 million to OneUnited, in which she
and her board member husband held shares.
The Financial Services Committee, among
other responsibilities, has jurisdiction over all issues pertaining to; you guessed
it, the banking system.
On July 24, 2012, Judicial Watch released
President Tom Fitton’s groundbreaking book THE CORRUPTION CHRONICLES: Obama’s Big Secrecy, Big
Corruption, and Big Government. Termed “highly
readable, informative and entertaining” byWashington Examiner Executive Editor
Mark Tapscott, the book comprehensively details how the Obama administration,
which promised to be one of the most transparent, could prove to be the most
secretive in a generation. THE
CORRUPTION CHRONICLES debuted at #6 on The New York Time Best
Sellers Nonfiction Hardcover List and quickly became the Number 1 best-selling
nonfiction hardcover book in the country, hitting Number 1 on BookScan’s
nonfiction hardcover list for the week ending July 29. The book was also
featured in the lead story earlier this week on Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor on
Fox News Channel.
On October 26, 2012, Judicial Watch
and Victory Film Group released
their documentary film, “The District of
Corruption” which puts the spotlight on the organization’s epic battle
against government scandal, secrecy and corruption through the last three
presidential administrations (see trailer here). The
film was written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon, the
writer/director of “Occupy Unmasked” and the Sarah Palin film “The Undefeated,”
and produced in association with Constant Motion Entertainment.

this would feel more credible if some mentioned were Republican's since some of the worst are also Republican's.
