Congressman Blunt ignores a court subpoena to testify against soon-to-be convicted felon and campaign contributor Brent Wilkes. Congressman Roy Blunt is implicated in fellow Congressman Duke Cunningham's bribery case. He refuses to comply with a subpoena to testify in the trial of convicted felon Brent Wilkes, the California defense contractor who is then convicted of bribing Cunningham with $700000 in cash and perks in exchange for millions in government contracts. Blunt also twice accepts private jet flights from Wilkes' private jet company, Group W Transportation, and receives large donations from Wilkes' associates just days after the House passes an earmark for one of Wilkes' companies.

After the murder fiasco in Iraq 2007, Blackwater founder Erik Prince changed the company's name to XE, but nobody in the media paid any attention, and nobody in government cared. The State Department fined the company $42 Million in July 2010, then in August, State and CIA issued $220 Million in contracts to take the sting out. This month, Senator Levin revealed that Blackwater created 30 false-front companies to contract secretly with the government. There's gold in them thar killin' fields, and Lofinikita shows you where to dig!
