For the full background of the members on the list, which includes which government entity is investigating the members, what the members are under investigation for, and the status of the investigation, click here.
The Department of Justice, the House and Senate Ethics Committees, and the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) do not publicly divulge which members they are investigating. The OCE’s first quarterly report published in April revealed that the office has launched 10 reviews of lawmakers or congressional staff, but the OCE only disclosed Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) as under review. He is included on CREW’s list.
The Real Story on Miller Legal Expenses
From OC Register Blog:
Rep. Miller explains mysterious legal expenses
April 27th, 2009, 5:23 pm by Martin Wisckol, Politics reporter
Rep. Gary Miller, the Diamond Bar Republican whose district includes part of Orange County, got some attention from The Hill blog last week for his quarterly campaign finance filing. Seems he paid nearly $12,000 to a law firm after spending less than $2,000 on lawyers over the three previous years.
The matter was even more mysterious because it wasn’t clear from the campaign finance report why he needed the lawyers - indeed, the Federal Elections Commission noted that he provided inadequate detail.
I called Miller’s office today, and was assured the mystery wasn’t all that intriguing. Miller had hired a new firm to handle his FEC statements and they had also gone through all his previous statements. Until the end of last year, Miller’s wife, Cathy Miller, had handled the filing. But when she underwent surgery, Miller sought outside assistance, according to Miller aide Jessica Baker.

Way too many democrats versus republicans on this list.
Tip off is that Ted Stevens has been cleared. Don Seigleman has not.
Change we can believe in is . Our new president is darker than the old one. His family life appears to be better.
Error: Rep Gary Miller is listed as Democrat.
Rep. Gary Miller California is a Republican.
Congress members under investigation?
If this list does not include Michele Bachman, Ms Fox, and others, then, this list is not legitimate.

In its report, NTSB determined the probable cause of the accident to be “the inadequate interaction and communication among senior members of the combat systems team on the submarine NS0-163, which resulted in the failure to perform adequate contact analysis PMI-001, to adhere to proper procedures for moving to periscope depth; and the (Greenville’s) commanding officer's decision to order an emergency surfacing maneuver SY0-201.
