I don’t want to sound anti-Mormon but we know what religion Reid and Hatch are. I’d be willing to bet money that the rest of them are also LDS. Mormon Mafia anyone? There’s crooks in every religion.
Swallow and Shurtleff are both mormon.
Could Mormon church excommunicate Shurtleff, Swallow?
"A church disciplinary council is mandatory in cases of murder, incest, child abuse, apostasy, serious transgressions while holding a prominent church position and predatory behavior.
Serious transgressions, which the Handbook defines as "deliberate and major offense[s] against morality," include but are not limited to "attempted murder, forcible rape, sexual abuse, spouse abuse, intentional serious physical injury of others, adultery ... deliberate abandonment of family responsibilities, robbery, burglary, theft, embezzlement, sale of illegal drugs, fraud, perjury and false swearing."
In the late 2000s (2008 or 2009) Harry Reid received the highest award a mormon can receive from BYU, for beinging an example of what morons would be.
So your question is yes.
