Before John Ensign resigned as Nevada's junior senator on May 3, the Republican faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into a possibly illegal cover-up that followed an affair between Ensign and Cindy Hampton, a campaign aide who was married to the senator's administrative assistant. Last week, the committee released a report on the probe - and it is ugly.
The committee wasn't particularly interested in the nine-month affair. Its focus was on - you guessed it - the cover-up.
Ensign's parents made a $96,000 "gift" to the Hamptons after the couple stopped working for Ensign. Ensign steered husband Doug Hampton into a lobbying job - despite a federal law that bans staffers from lobbying the Senate within a year of leaving the Capitol.
Special Counsel Carol Elder Bruce found substantial evidence that the senator broke federal law, made false or misleading statements to the Federal Election Commission about the $96,000 severance, and obstructed justice when he destroyed documents to cover his trail.

How can you disgrace a body that knows no shame to begin with?
Pretty “judgmental” for a San Francisco paper.
Now he and Ahnold can go out on double dates together.
Yes he did, move on, he has.
Now, with his resume enhanced by fraud, he can run as a Democrat and win. Then, the media will be happy to assist.
I apologize for hijacking this thread. I missed the “news” since I have been a little busy lately.
Barry Frank is disgraceful
He is. But Barney Frank is a member of the House of Representatives, not the Senate.
>>Disgrace the Senate? Get real. It is a body of human debris.<<
Lawfully elected by you, me and our neighbors. America has the government that the majority of the people desire. We also have the laws that the majority of the people desire. Encourage your kids to join the military and see the world ....in the company of government approved queers. Fight for the flag so teachers can forbid it to be flown in the classroom.
While you’re at be sure to support the United Nations and Agenda 21.
One would have better luck going into a whorehouse and trying to preach the virtues of chastity.
Yeah, no kidding! How about Teddy and Dodd and their “waitress sandwiches” or Teddy and Mary Jo?
BTW, Teddy has been sober for over a year and a half!
You beat me to it!
That’s true. Clinton lied and said he didn’t have it.
When I was a teenager, I lied and said I did.
I snicker every time a FReeper posts a reply like yours.
Meanwhile, Charlie Rangle, the Jesse Jackson’s, Dodd, Schumer, Gore, et al just go merrily down the road with not even a slap on the hand for their behavior.
No wonder the American voter no longer trusts the American politician.
