Ari Berman writes for The Nation: "Another GOP congressman has been indicted. This time it's Rick Renzi, indicted by a federal grand jury in Arizona today on charges of wire fraud, money laundering and extortion as part of a multimillion-dollar land deal that allegedly improperly benefited Renzi and his business partners. Renzi, a three-time representative from Arizona's First Congressional District ... also happens to be a close ally of Senator John McCain."
