Mitchell Wade has been cooperating with federal authorities.  That could mean legal trouble for five additional members of Congress according to news reports from over the weekend.  Wade wants leniency in his sentence for his cooperation.  CREW has been following the Mitchell Wade case for years.  In fact, we initiated an FEC complaint against Wade and his company, which resulted in an historic fine.  We'll keep monitoring developments, but do know that Wade had a close relationship with former Florida Representative Katherine Harris.

From the Washington Post:

Mitchell Wade, the former defense contractor who pleaded guilty in February 2006 to bribing former representative Randall "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.), has assisted the government in investigating five other members of Congress, numerous government employees and several private contractors, according to a memorandum filed by his attorney on Wednesday.

Although none of those members is named, two are under investigation, according to the memorandum, and "three others have come under scrutiny for their receipt of straw contributions" from former Wade employees and one for the possible receipt of undisclosed gifts.
