by CREW. See his little 'problems' here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Renzi#Controversies

"Since its rare cautionary statements, the Justice Department has never stated that there was anything improper about the indictment of Rick Renzi or the product of any kind of trickery. There is now evidence to suggest that the U.S. Attorney under whom the investigation was begun was fired in retaliation. "...Paul Charlton of Arizona, was on Sampson's "retain" list in February 2005. But by September of 2006 - after it became clear that Charlton had launched an investigation of Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz, - Sampson included the Arizona prosecutor on another list of U.S. attorneys "we now should consider pushing out." Sampson, who was U.S. Attorney Gonzales' Chief of Staff was forced to resign on Monday March 12, 2007.<31>"

3. Here is some info re Rick Renzi from Sourcewatch
Rick Renzi is currently the subject of two Justice Department investigations. First, he is under investigation for his involvement in a federal land swap deal. While officials have not revealed details of the probe, it is widely believed that it surrounds legislation Renzi agreed to introduce in 2005 completing a land swap for a former business partner, James Sandlin. Second, Renzi is being probed for introducing legislation (which became law) exempting the Fort Huachuca Army base in Arizona from maintaining water levels in the nearby San Pedro River. ManTech International, a military contractor who has been one of Renzi’s largest contributors and currently employs his father, has over $450 million in contracts at the base. According to a government official, both investigations remain at the early stages. Renzi won reelection in November 2006.
