Rampant GOP Corruption, Continued: Ex-Connecticut Gov. Rowland Convicted
"With the conviction of former governor Bob McDonnell (R – VA) and his wife, and the indictment of Governor Rick Perry (R – TX) behind us and the ongoing investigations of Chris Christie (R – NJ) and Scott Walker (R – WI) still to come, the justice system took a break to remind us that such things are nothing new for the GOP by convicting former Connecticut Governor and Republican rising star John G Rowland of corruption charges.
Rowland, who resigned in disgrace in 2004 while pleading guilty to bribery charges, was convicted once again on Friday on seven counts including obstructing justice, conspiracy, falsifying documents and violating campaign finance laws."
