As occurs each and every January 1, the nation’s top legal eagles for investigating government corruption and abuse released their own list of top ten government leaders — corrupt government leaders.
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, on New Year’s Eve, much to the chagrin of both political parties as well as the deaf, dumb, and blind members of the news media, released its 2012 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.”
While most of leaders are listed separately, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice share the number three spot for obvious reasons: They are both accused of lying with regard to the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attack on a U.S. consulate that saw four brave Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, brutally murdered.
As with most lists that recognize those deserving an honorable mention, Judicial Watch has a “Dishonorable Mentions for 2012″ list of men and women who deserve to be exposed for their alleged corruption and abuse of office. Judicial Watch chose six individuals including a four-star general.
The top ten list, in alphabetical order, includes two Republican lawmakers, three Democrat lawmakers, the President of the United States and five members of the Obama administration:
•Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.)
•Secretary of Energy Steven Chu
•Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice
•Attorney General Eric Holder
•Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.)
•Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.)
•President Barack Obama
•Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
•Rep. David Rivera (R-Fla.)
•Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
Dishonorable Mentions for 2012 include:
•Former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.)
•Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.)
•Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
•Gen. David Petraeus
•Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
•Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.)
