Republican Senator Ted Stevens GUILTY On All Counts
Posted By JM Bell on October 27, 2008
Too bad Senator Ted “TUBES!” Stevens wasn’t in Dubai, or Orrin Hatch’s stirring oratory may have gotten him out of trouble on all this … you know, corruption stuff.
From Roll Call:
A federal jury on Monday found Sen. Ted Stevens guilty on all counts of failing to disclose gifts on his annual financial disclosure forms.
The decision came on the same day that an alternate juror was placed back on the jury — and just over a week before Stevens (R) will face voters in Alaska as he seeks re-election.
Stevens was charged with seven counts of filing false statements to conceal the receipt of about $250,000 in gifts from the now-defunct VECO oil services firm and its executives over an eight-year period.
