From CNN Justice Producer Terry Frieden

The Justice Department annnounced an indictment against Arizona Rep. Richard Renzi Thursday.
(CNN) — Rep. Richard Renzi of Arizona has been reindicted on 43 criminal counts by a federal grand jury in Arizona, adding racketeering and tax allegations to previous charges, the Justice Department announced Thursday.

The superseding indictment stems from a land deal that allegedly netted Renzi more than $700,000 in exchange for supporting legislation. It comes as Renzi, a Republican, prepares to leave office and face a criminal trial.

He announced he would not seek re-election after he was indicted last February.

Three other defendants also were named in the new indictment.

Well, he is a republican who committed a crime.

But, since it didn't involve asking teenage male soccer playing interns for pictures of their penis, and he's not running for re-election, I'd say good riddance, topic closed.
