PHOENIX -- Northern Arizona Congressman Rick Renzi was indicted today on charges of extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other matters in a scam involving an Arizona land swap.
The 26-page indictment says the scam allegedly helped Renzi collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in payoffs.
The indictment accuses Renzi and a former business partner of extortion and conspiring to promote the sale of land that buyers could swap for property owned by the federal government.
The indictment says that as part of the alleged scam, Renzi and James Sandlin concealed at least $733,000 that the congressman took for helping seal the land deals.
Renzi and another business partner, Andrew Beardall, are accused of embezzling more than $400,000 in insurance premiums to fund Renz's first congressional campaign.

Renzi is cute. I bet he will be starring in a bunch of gay mens' prison sex fantasies now.
The picture of the pigs is adorable.
