Sounds right to me. I just caught a snippet on the news. Basically, some businessmen in Europe wanted an exemption on selling aircraft and parts to countries we don't like. Ney promised them that he would take care of it, and in exchange they bribed him with thousands of dollars in poker chips. Seriously. He then took the chips, bet at a casino and won $50,000. That is one thing he admitted to doing. He was a crook. It doesn't matter that democrats do it too. They also need to be punished, but Ney deserves his prison space.

He traded national security interests for 30 pieces of...plastic? Any elected official who would do such a shameful thing deserves prison and I don't care what party they belong to.

You said, Ney ... "then took the chips, bet at a casino and won $50,000"

WHERE did he "win" the $50k???? Nevada, perchance? Tip o' the iceberg? Reid?
