Former U.S. Rep. Bob Ney, who left office just before the midterm November elections for his role in a congressional bribery scandal, was sentenced Friday to 30 months in jail.
The judge said Ney’s actions were a “significant, serious abuse of the public trust.”
The Ohio Republican pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud, deprive his constituents of honest service and violate his former chief of staff’s one-year lobbying ban; and a second count of making false statements to the House
Anyone giving odds on this dude being pardoned before Bush leaves office?
