Title: Senator likely to be indicted

Nevada Republican Sen. John Ensign is likely to be indicted for a $96,000 payment he made to the husband of the aide with whom he had an affair, a leading Nevada political reporter says.

John Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun reports that prosecutors looking into the scandal surrounding Ensign's affair with former aide Cynthia Hampton are focusing on the payment made by Ensign's parents to the Hamptons. Critics have charged that Ensign used his parents to pay off the cuckolded husband, Doug Hampton.

But prosecutors believe the money may have been a form of "structuring," an illegal activity where transactions are reclassified to avoid reporting rules. While Ensign's defenders sat the payment to the Hamptons was a "gift," federal prosecutors believe it may have been a severance payment to Ensign's aide, in which case it broke the law surrounding reporting of severance payments.

I was thinking more about Tom Coburn who might be tangled up with Ensign and the payoff/cover up of his affair

I'm not aware that Stupak was tied in with Ensign but he (Stupak) may have his own problems with taking what could be viewed as subsidized rent from the C Street Cult

No shit Sherlock

do you even read peoples posts

I said I wasn't aware that Stupak was tied up with Ensign but he (Stupak) may have his own separate issues, with having a below market rent for many many years (and others might have the same problem).

The subsidized rent things is troubling but will probably go nowhere (IMO) but time will tell
