Senator expects seven lawmakers to go to jail
Is Frist the Senator who will be wearing orange this Fall.
Senator expects seven lawmakers to go to jail:
"WAGONER, Okla. U-S Senator Tom Coburn isn't naming names, but he expects six congressmen and a fellow senator will go to jail.
That's because he thinks they'll be facing corruption charges following investigations involving lobbyist Jack Abramoff and others.
Speaking at a town hall meeting in Wagoner last night, Coburn said that 'if you've been keeping up with things, you've got a pretty good idea' of who the seven lawmakers are.
The Oklahoma Republican says members of both parties have been involved in questionable dealings.
The remarks were made in relation to his attempts to curb 'earmarking,' which is the practice of inserting appropriations for specific projects into unrelated bills."
