Plans For U.S.A. To Build A Meg Prison To House 120k Politicians & Pedophile's & Hollywood Star's Etc. The first group of 2,000 suspected gang members in El Salvador have been moved to a huge new prison, the centre-piece of President Nayib Bukele's self-declared war on crime. Tens of thousands of suspected gangsters have been rounded up in the country under a state of emergency following a spike in murders and other violent crime. More than 64,000 suspects have been arrested in the anti-crime drive.

Authorities have said criminal gangs such as MS-13 and Barrio-18 number tens of thousands and are responsible for homicides, extortion and drug-trafficking. The aim of the mass arrests is to make the gangs "disappear altogether", the government says.

Human rights organisations have argued that innocent people have been caught up in the policy, and some of those held have reported being subjected to "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment".

Disturbing Stories About Hollywood’s Pedophile Problem Hollywood has a history with pedophiles. Corrupt managers have used the promise of stardom to sexually abuse for years, all the way back to the days of Judy Garland. It is, in the words of one movie executive, “a time-honored tradition in this town. ”It took the state a long time to do anything about it. Up until 2012, convicted sexual offenders in California were free to work with child actors all they pleased. But even with that change, there are still a lot of dangerous people walking free.Some of the stories in this article are rumors. Some are facts that have been proven in a court of law. But every one of them makes it clear that there are a lot of men making their fortune in Hollywood who have done terrible things to children—some who have never suffered for their crimes.

The Kids in Super 8 and School of Rock
Were Cast by a Convicted Pedophile
The kids in some of the most successful movies of the past 15 years were hand-picked by Jason James Murphy—a convicted pedophile. Before he became a casting director, Murphy lived in Seattle, where, according to court papers, he became “obsessed” and “in love with” an elementary school boy. Murphy tried to lure the young boy away, promising they would live together in London. Then he took it even further. In 1996, Murphy disguised himself as a woman and kidnapped the child. He put him on a plane, flew him off to New York City, and kept him in a shared hotel room. The boy was only rescued when a hotel clerk saw their faces on America’s Most Wanted and called the cops.
Five years later, though, Murphy was back on the streets—and, pretty soon, was working as a casting director. After being convicted for kidnapping and molestation, he was hired to cast the kids in School of Rock, Super 8, and more. He spent a year in the industry scouting kids before somebody actually took the time to look into who he was—and just how dangerous he could be.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Childhood Manager Sexually Assaulted a 13-Year-Old
Bob Villard was one of the biggest child managers in the industry. He represented some of the most famous young names in Hollywood, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire—but if the system had worked correctly, he would not have been allowed anywhere near any of them.Even before DiCaprio started acting, in 1987, Villard was charged with possession of child pornography. The prosecution, though, failed to prove it in court—and so Villard went free and kept working with kids.It took until 2001 before they got him in jail. Villard was caught with a whole collection of sexually explicit pictures of young boys. He lost the case, went to jail, and the world became a safer place—for a while anyway, until Villard got out and immediately went right back to managing children.It did not take long before Villard hurt someone. By 2005, he was caught sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy he had courted as a client. Villard was sent back behind bars and his career finally ended—but there is no telling how many other clients he may have assaulted that never came forward.The courts did not seem particularly surprised by Villard’s abuse. “That’s what’s done,” the District Attorney told the press. “This is all normal in the industry.”

Bryan Singer Allegedly Raped 15-Year-Old Michael Egan
Even if you have not heard Bryan Singer’s name, odds are you have seen one of his movies. He is the director responsible for the X-Men movies, The Usual Suspects, and the alleged sexual assaults of at least three underage boys.His most famous accusation comes from Michael Egan, who met Singer at a party when he was 15 years old. Singer, Egan claims, sat the 15-year-old boy on his lap, fed him alcohol and drugs, and promised a role in X-Men. Then, while Egan protested, he sodomized him. After that, Egan claims, Singer raped him regularly, threatening that, if he told anyone about it, he would murder his family.That is a crazy accusation, and it has never been proven in court—but it is not the only one Singer has heard. Another 14-year-old boy has accused Singer of feeding him Quaaludes and alcohol and anally raping him, and underage extras from the movie Apt Pupil claimed that Singer forced them to strip naked so he could film them in the shower.Singer has managed to get every one of these accusations thrown out, and so he keeps working as one of Hollywood’s most successful directors. But even if Singer cannot be proven guilty, he spends his time around a lot of people who can be—as you will see.

Marc Collins-Rector Definitely Raped 15-Year-Old Michael Egan
Singer was not the only person at these parties. They were held by Marc Collins-Rector, the owner of a media company called DEN. Collins-Rector hired Egan as an actor, and he was the one who invited him.At these parties, according to Egan, adult men floated drugs and alcohol to teenaged boys, and used them for sex. Not only were they underage, but it was not always consensual. Egan claims that Collins-Rector pinned him down and violently sexually abused him, in one case holding a gun to his head and threatening to shoot him if he did not stop resisting.Egan did not just file charges against Singer. He filed them against Marc Collins-Rector and two of his associates as well—as did several other boys. One of those boys, incidentally, was Alexander Burton, who was given the role of Pyro in Bryan Singer’s X-Men.When the charges came in, Collins-Rector fled the country. He ran as fast as he could so that he would never have to meet his accusers in court. The boys were awarded $4.5 million—and, when the police finally found Collins-Rector, he confessed to five charges of sexually assaulting minors.

Disney Hired Convicted Child Molester Brian Peck
Marc Collins-Rector is not even the only convicted pedophile associated with Singer. There is also Brian Peck, who played a minor role in Singer’s X-Men. Singer cast Peck again in X-Men 2—which was a strange choice for a movie about gifted youngsters. After all, between the two movies, Peck went to jail for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old.Peck also worked as a dialogue coach, often working with companies like Nickelodeon to coach child actors. He spent 6 months having a sexual affair with an unnamed child actor on Amanda Bynes’ The Amanda Show until the family charged him with sexual assault in 2001.Peck, though, got out of jail and went right back to work. And it was not just Bryan Singer who hired him—Disney hired the convicted child molester, back on his old job, to work as a dialogue coach on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

Corey Haim Was Allegedly Raped on the Set of Lucas
After Corey Haim died, his friend Corey Feldman became one of the most outspoken actors willing to talk about pedophilia in Hollywood. The two Coreys were famous for being abused. In the words of Little House on The Prairie star Alison Arngrim, “Everybody knew that the two Coreys were just being passed around.”Feldman started real controversy when he claimed that Haim was assaulted on the set of Lucas. An older man, Feldman claims, told Haim “it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in the business to have sexual relations, that it was what all ‘guys do.’ ”Feldman would not name the assaulter because the statute of limitations in California made it impossible to press charges. If he did, he said, he would be sued for libel while the rapist could not be touched. Other friends of Haim, though, have backed up Feldman’s story.All Feldman will say is that the attacker “is still prominently in the business today”—a line that has led to a lot of speculation. Some have suggested it was Charlie Sheen. One of Haim’s friends accused director Dominick Brascia. Brascia, for his part, denies it, but says he knows who really did it. With the law protecting the guilty, though, it is unlikely we will ever know for sure.

Martin Weiss Was Released as Soon as He Was Convicted
Martin Weiss was a Hollywood manager who specialized in finding kids. He had his share of successes. Nickelodeon and Disney both used him as a talent scout and took on the kids that he found. The whole time, though, he was using his position to abuse children.Weiss used his position to take advantage of 11-year-old Evan Henzi more than 30 times over a period of years. It took until Henzi was 14 to work up the courage to press charges. Weiss pled no contest and was sentenced to one year in jail—but, since he had served the prison time while he was waiting for his trial date, he was released as soon as he was convicted.“I’m angry at the legal system,” Henzi said after his abuser was released. “I blamed myself and felt guilty. Going back to the beginning, I realized that was not the case and it was just me trying to believe that everyone was good in the world and knew better than me. Now that I’m older, I know it was just sick. You don’t have sex with an 11-year-old kid.”

A Nickelodeon Production Assistant Used His Job to Assault Children
Jason Michael Handy describes himself as a “pedophile, full-blown.” That, though, did not stop him from taking a job at Nickelodeon.Handy used his position to lure children. In 2004, he contacted a 14-year-old girl over the internet, introduced himself as a Nickelodeon producer, and promised her a television career. The lure of stardom was enough to get the young girl to give up anything—and so she let him fly all the way to Michigan, where he met her at her school.When he was arrested for molestation, the police found a cache of child porn in his home. They also found out that he had been volunteering at the local church so he could prey on the children there, too.It is a terrible story—but the really terrible part is that nothing changed. In 2009, after serving his time, he got out of jail and moved to North Carolina—and then did the same thing all over again.

Woody Allen Allegedly Raped His Seven-Year-Old Daughter
But these stories are not just limited to production assistants. Some of the biggest names in cinema have been accused of pedophilia. The worst of all has to be Woody Allen—who was accused of raping his own daughter.“When I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set,” Allen’s daughter, Dylan Farrow, claims. “Then he sexually assaulted me.”Farrow took her father to court for it, but she was not able to prove it. The judges, though, ruled that “the best interests of these children would be served by remaining together in the custody of Ms. Farrow” instead of Allen. He even forbid Allen from visiting his children.It does not help Allen’s case that he married his adoptive stepdaughter. Nor does it help that his own son, Ronan Farrow, also thinks he did it. “I believe my sister,” Ronan said. He was not there to see it happen, but he confirmed something else his sister had claimed. Woody Allen, both children agree, would climb into Dylan’s bed at night and force her to suck his thumb.

Roman Polanski May Be about to Get Away with Rape
Roman Polanski’s sexual assault of 13-year-old Samantha Gailey is one of the best-known Hollywood scandals. You might have heard the story before—but you might not realize that Polanski is about to get away with it.In 1977, Polanski fed the 13-year-old Gailey Quaaludes and alcohol, and sexually assaulted her inside of Jack Nicholson’s home. Gailey, according to her testimony yelled, “No, keep away!” and “Stop it!” while Polanski forcibly sodomized her.Polanski was found guilty, but he fled the country to avoid jail time. That was 40 years ago, and Polanski has been free ever since. He has made countless films, won Oscars, and not served any of the 50 years he was sentenced to spend in prison.And he might be about to get away with it completely. At this moment, Polanski is negotiating with the courts. He expects to be allowed to return to the country and not serve any more time in jail—and, so far, it seems like he is going to get his way.

Sex tourism is the practice of traveling to foreign countries, often on a different continent, with the intention of engaging in sexual activity or relationships in exchange for money or lifestyle support. It predominantly operates in countries where sex work is legal but there are countries where laws prohibit it. Human trafficking occurs on an international, national, and local level. Whether you live in a small town or a large city, human trafficking can be happening in your own backyard or apartment building.

Can Pedophile's Have Sex With Real Kid's Humanoids and Other Adult AI Robot's ? -

https://rumble.com/v2hui5e-can-pedophiles-have-sex-with-real-kids-humanoids-and-other-adult-ai-robots-.html -
Pedophiles are people with a sexual attraction to children. Manifest acts, such as taking sexually explicit photographs, molesting children and exposing one's genitalia to children, are all crimes. Pedophiles can be "treated" but never cured, because their sexual preference has always been, and always will be, children. Their urges will always be present. Therefore, treatment focuses on changing, curbing, or re-directing the acting-out behaviors of pedophiles.

Sex Offender Registries Don’t Keep Kids Safe, But Politicians Keep Expanding Them Anyway. Lawmakers are using “stranger danger” myths to keep almost a million Americans out of work and on the verge of homelessness.

Following are some excerpts from a GREAT article in the Huffington Post

Winters is a member of an expanding and invisible American underclass. In 1994, when Congress passed the first sex offender registration law, the list was reserved for law enforcement officials and only applied to the most serious offenders. Since then, American lawmakers at every level have relentlessly increased its scope and severity.

The registry now includes more than 900,000 people, a population slightly greater than Vermont’s. At least 12 states require sex offender registration for public urination; five apply it to people charged with offenses related to sex work; 29 require it for consensual sex between teenagers. According to Human Rights Watch, people have been forced to spend decades on the registry for crimes they committed as young as 10 years old.

The conditions imposed on registered sex offenders have become significantly more draconian over time. More than 30 states now require registrants to live at least 1,000 feet away from schools, churches and other places children congregate — a requirement that renders up to 99% of homes and apartment buildings off-limits. Some states require registered offenders to submit to regular polygraph tests and random police inspections. Florida adds “sexual predator” to the front of registrants’ driver’s licenses. Louisiana doesn’t allow sex offenders to evacuate from their own homes before natural disasters.

What explains these relentlessly tightening restrictions, Levenson said, is the domino effect that happens every time a city or state strengthens their registration laws. Politicians in neighboring jurisdictions, fearing an influx of offenders, feel they have no choice but to tighten their own. In April, Tennessee passed a new law restricting sex offenders from being alone with their own children, a direct response to a similar provision in Alabama.

Despite child sexual abuse declining by 60% between 1992 and 2010, states continue to legislate as if lenient sex offender laws are a national emergency.

While the criteria for sex offender registries vary widely between states, they are all based on the same two false assumptions: that sex offenders are uniquely likely to reoffend, and that notifying their employers, landlords and neighbors of their status will make that outcome less likely.

The first assumption is based on the “stranger danger” myth — that serial predators commit most offenses against children. In reality, strangers carry out only 7% of these crimes. Statistically speaking, the greatest risks to children are their parents, other children and authority figures they know and trust.

Researchers consistently find that sex offenders are in fact less likely to reoffend than other criminals. A study of nearly 1,800 sex offenders across four states found that only 10% reoffended in the decade after their release from prison — far lower than the 83% recidivism rate for parolees convicted of other crimes.

Not only are registered sex offenders relatively unlikely to reoffend, but the registries themselves appear to have no effect whatsoever on recidivism rates. Numerous studies have found that enacting sex offender registries doesn’t reduce the rate of sex crimes and that states don’t see a drop in the number of abuse victims after enacting harsher requirements.

One of the most common restrictions on registered sex offenders is the “buffer zone” preventing them from living or working near schools, parks or playgrounds. While these restrictions may seem like an obvious safety measure, they too appear to have no effect on abuse or recidivism rates. An analysis of 224 crimes committed by known offenders in Minnesota found that residential restrictions would not have prevented even one. Another study in New Jersey found that just 4.4% of offenders met their victims in the types of public, children-oriented spaces the registry restricts.

The rest of the country’s registrants face similar challenges. A 2014 survey of sex offenders five years after their release from prison found that 36% had never found employment. Another, in 2013, found that Florida registrants in counties with larger buffer zones around schools were more likely to be homeless. Numerous studies have found that being out of work and living on the streets significantly increase the risk of recidivism.

List of federal political sex scandals in the United States -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_sex_scandals_in_the_United_States -

One of the definitions of sex is "physical activity in which people touch each other's bodies, kiss each other, etc." Thus, instances or accusations of sexism, homophobia, or exhibitionism that do not include or seek that sort of physical activity are not covered by this list.

Scandal is defined as: “loss of or damage to reputation caused by actual, accused, or apparent violation of morality or propriety.” Scandal is not the same as controversy, which implies two differing points of view, and is also not the same as unpopularity. Misunderstandings, breaches of ethics, or cover-ups may or may not result in scandals depending on the amount of publicity generated, and the seriousness of the alleged behavior.

List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_federal_politicians_convicted_of_crimes -
This list consists of American politicians convicted of crimes either committed or prosecuted while holding office in the federal government. It includes politicians who were convicted or pleaded guilty in a court of law; and does not include politicians involved in unprosecuted scandals (which may or may not have been illegal in nature), or politicians who have only been arrested or indicted. The list also does not include crimes that occur outside the politician's tenure unless they specifically stem from acts while they were in office. It does not include convictions which were vacated (e.g. Ted Stevens (R)).

Although the convicted politicians are arranged by presidential terms in chronological order, many of the crimes have little or no connection to who is president. Since the passage of 20th Amendment on January 23, 1933, presidential terms have begun on January 20 of the year following the presidential election; prior to that, they began on March 4.

1900–1969
Arthur Brown (Republican-Utah), a U.S. Senator, and founder of the Utah State Republican Party — was shot dead by his longtime mistress, Anne Maddison Bradley, for having a second mistress. Bradley, who had two children by Brown, was tried, but acquitted on a defense of temporary insanity. (1906)
Woodrow Wilson, President (Democrat) — allegedly had an affair with Mary Allen Hulbert, whom he met in 1907 when he was president of Princeton University.
Warren G. Harding, President (Republican) — reportedly had affairs with Carrie Phillips and Nan Britton during the 1910s and early 1920s, prior to his death in 1923. Britton claimed in a best-selling 1927 book, The President's Daughter, that her daughter had been fathered by Harding while he was a U.S. senator. Her assertion was finally established as factual in August 2015, when genetic tests confirmed Harding as the father of Elizabeth.
David I. Walsh, Senator (Democrat-Massachusetts) — was accused of visiting a male brothel in Brooklyn frequented by Nazi spies in 1942.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, President (Democrat) — had multiple extra-marital affairs beginning in 1914, and continued until he died in 1945.
Styles Bridges, US Senator (Republican-New Hampshire) — during the Lavender Scare of the 1950s, threatened to expose the son of US Senator Lester Hunt (Democrat-Wyoming) as a homosexual, unless Hunt resigned from the Senate, which would give the Republicans a Senate majority. Hunt refused, but did not seek re-election, and later shot himself (1954).
John F. Kennedy, President (Democrat-Massachusetts) — has been linked to many extramarital affairs, including allegations of involvement with Marilyn Monroe and Judith Campbell Exner. He engaged in an affair with intern Mimi Alford during the period 1962–1963.
Lyndon B. Johnson, President (Democrat-Texas) — had extramarital affairs with multiple women over the years, in particular with Alice Marsh (née Glass), who assisted him politically. One such affair with Madeleine Duncan Brown allegedly led to her pregnancy with a son out of that relationship.
William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (Democrat) — allegedly pursued other women while married to his third wife, which, combined with his three divorces and remarriages, was considered scandalous. He also reportedly tried to molest a flight attendant in his judicial chambers. Attempted impeachment based upon his moral character failed, when the House Judiciary Committee found insufficient grounds for impeachment. (1960s)

1970–1979
Wilbur Mills, Representative (Democrat-Arkansas) — was found intoxicated with stripper Fanne Foxe. He was re-elected, but resigned in 1974 after giving an intoxicated press conference from Foxe's burlesque house dressing room.
Allan Howe, Representative (Democrat-Utah) — was arrested in 1976 for soliciting two police officers posing as prostitutes.
Wayne Hays, Representative (Democrat-Ohio) — The Elizabeth Ray sex scandal ended his career in 1976. The Washington Post reported that Ray had been on the payroll of a committee run by Hays for two years as a clerk-secretary. During that time, she admitted, her actual job duties were providing Congressman Hays sexual favors: “I can't type, I can't file, I can't even answer the phone.”
Fred Richmond, Representative (Democrat-New York) — In 1978, charges that he solicited sex from a 16-year-old boy were dropped after he submitted to counseling.
Robert L. Leggett, Representative (Democrat-California) — acknowledged that he fathered two illegitimate children by a Congressional secretary, whom he supported financially. He then had an affair with another woman, who was an aide to Speaker Carl Albert (1976).
Joseph P. Wyatt, Jr., Representative (Democrat-Texas) — was arrested on charges of homosexual offenses in 1979.
John Andrew Young, Representative (Democrat-Texas) — A female staffer alleged she was forced to have sex with Young in order to keep her job. Young referred to the charge as “poppycock", though his wife committed suicide the following year. Though he ran again, he lost his next primary election. (1976)

1980–1989
Donald "Buz" Lukens Representative (Republican-Ohio) — Convicted of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor for having sex with a 16-year-old girl. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, and fined $500 in 1989.
Robert Bauman, Representative (Republican-Maryland) — was charged with attempting to solicit sex from a 16-year-old male prostitute. Upon completing an alcoholism rehabilitation program, the charges were dropped. Bauman apologized to voters for his indiscretions, but was defeated for re-election in 1980.
Jon Hinson, Representative (Republican-Mississippi) — Resigned in 1981 after being charged with attempted sodomy for performing oral sex on a male employee of the Library of Congress. (1981)
Thomas Evans, Representative (Republican-Delaware) — Went golfing in Florida with nude model and lobbyist Paula Parkinson, who later suggested her lobbying techniques had been “unusually tactile.” Though Evans apologized for any appearance of impropriety, he was voted out of office in 1982. Future Vice-President Dan Quayle and Congressman Tom Railsback went on the golf trip as well, but were not implicated in the sex. Marilyn Quayle said it was common knowledge that her husband would "rather play golf than have sex any day." (1981)
John G. Schmitz, Representative (Republican-California) — Leader of the ultra-conservative John Birch Society; admitted to having a second family, but refused to accept or support the two children he produced, who became wards of the state (1982). The story would again gain international attention in 1997, when his daughter, Mary Kay Letourneau, was convicted of raping and getting impregnated twice by a 12-year-old boy, whom she taught.
Dan Crane, Representative, (Republican-Illinois) — was censured July 20, 1983, in the Congressional Page sex scandal for having sex with a 17-year-old congressional page.
Gerry Studds, Representative (Democrat-Massachusetts) — was censured July 20, 1983, in the Congressional Page sex scandal for having sex with a 17-year-old congressional page (1983).
Gary Hart, Senator (Democrat-Colorado) — was the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in the 1988 presidential elections. He was photographed with model Donna Rice on a boat named “Monkey Business” during a trip to the Bahamas, raising questions of infidelity. His popularity plummeted, and he soon dropped out. (1987). Thirty years later, it was alleged that the photo had been staged in a set-up, orchestrated by the rival campaign of then-Vice President George H. W. Bush.
Ernie Konnyu, Representative (Republican-California) — Konnyu was accused of sexual harassment. He had asked a female aide to move a name tag she was wearing, because it drew attention to her breasts, about which he later said: “She is not exactly heavily stacked, OK?” In another instance, he reportedly touched the knee of lobbyist Polly Minor during lunch, which caused a scene. GOP leaders were already unhappy with Konnyu's temperament, and in response, they found Stanford professor Tom Campbell, who ousted Konnyu the following June. (1987)
Barney Frank, Representative (Democrat-Massachusetts) — In 1989, was reprimanded by the House for “fixing” 33 parking tickets for Steve Gobie, a male escort who lived with Frank, and claimed to have conducted an escort service from Frank's apartment without his knowledge.
Gus Savage, Representative (Democrat-Illinois) — In 1989, was accused of trying to force himself on a female Peace Corps worker while in Zaire. No action was taken by the House Ethics Committee after he apologized to her.
1990–1999
Arlan Stangeland, U.S. House of Representatives (1977–1991), (Republican-Minnesota) — Lost his campaign for re-election in 1990, largely because of a scandal, having made several hundred long-distance phone calls on his House credit card to a female lobbyist in Virginia. He admitted that he had made the calls, but denied having a romantic relationship with the woman. After his loss, he subsequently retired from politics.
Austin J. Murphy, Representative (Democrat-Pennsylvania) — In 1994, acknowledged fathering a child out of wedlock, after a political opponent came forward with video of Murphy leaving the home of his mistress. (1990)

List of American state and local politicians convicted of crimes -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_state_and_local_politicians_convicted_of_crimes

This list includes 1,000 plus American politicians at the state and local levels who have been convicted of felony crimes committed while in office.

List of 1,400 plus federal political scandals in the United States - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_scandals_in_the_United_States - This article is organized by presidential terms in order, older to recent, and then divided into scandals of the federal Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government. Members of both parties are listed under the term of the president in office at the time the scandal took place, even though they may not be connected with the presiding president.

In this article, the term "politician" (a person who is professionally involved in politics) includes not only those elected, but also party officials, candidates for office, their staffs and appointees. Please note that every president directly selects, appoints or hires several thousand people. Each of them selects thousands more. Private citizens should only be mentioned when they are closely linked to the scandal or politician, such as Jack Abramoff. This list also does not include crimes that occur outside the politician's tenure (such as before or after his term in office) unless they specifically stem from acts made while in office and discovered later.

Scandal is defined as "loss of or damage to reputation caused by actual or apparent violation of morality or propriety". Scandals are separate from 'controversies', (which implies two differing points of view) and 'unpopularity'. Many decisions are controversial, many decisions are unpopular, that alone does not make them scandals. Breaking the law is a scandal. The finding of a court is the sole method used to determine a violation of law, but it is not the sole method of determining a scandal. Also included as scandals are politicians who resign, quit, run, or commit suicide while being investigated or threatened with investigation.

Notoriety is a major determinant of a scandal, that is, the amount of press dedicated to it. Misunderstandings, breaches of ethics, unproven crimes or cover-ups may or may not result in inclusion depending on the standing of the accused, the amount of publicity generated, and the seriousness of the crime, if any. Drunk driving may be a conviction, but is usually too minor and too common to mention unless there are multiple convictions and/or jail time.

Given the political nature of Congress in which the leading party has determining power, politicians who are rebuked, denounced, censured, admonished, condemned, suspended, reprimanded, found in contempt, found to have acted improperly, or used poor judgement are not included unless the scandal is exceptional or leads to expulsion or conviction.

At the bottom of the article are links to related articles which deal with politicians who are involved in federal scandals (political and sexual), as well as differentiating among federal, state and local convictions. Also excluded are crimes which occur outside the politician's tenure in office unless they specifically stem from acts during his time of service.
Entries are arranged by date, from most current to less recent, and by state.
