Just keeping everyone posted about the corruption in the Democrat party since so much has been made about how the “culture of corruption” in the Republican party is so important.

Ex-Legislator Charged in Tenn. Probe

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A former lawmaker already indicted on bribery allegations has been charged with taking more than $800,000 in consulting fees from contractors working for a state Medicare program, according to an indictment unsealed Monday.

Former state Sen. John Ford is accused of using his elected position to promote the interests of two contractors with TennCare. Ford served on three committees with authority over TennCare.

“Senator Ford had a duty to provide honest services to the people of Tennessee,” U.S. Attorney Craig Morford said in a news conference. “The facts alleged in this indictment reveal an appalling willingness to violate that duty by using his public position for personal gain.”
Ford’s home phone number is unlisted.

“Mr. Ford has done nothing wrong in relation to these charges,” said his lawyer, Michael Scholl.

An initial court appearance was set for Tuesday.

Ford, a Memphis Democrat, resigned from the Legislature in 2005 after he was indicted on charges of taking $55,000 in bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as crooked businessmen in a sting dubbed the Tennessee Waltz.

Corruption is corruption and the crooks regardless of party need to be punished.
