Former Texas congressman found guilty of 23 felonies

Former Texas Rep. Steve Stockman (R) was found guilty of 23 felony charges related to the defrauding of two conservative donors, the Texas Tribune reports.
Stockman, who was charged with 24 counts in total, had one of four charges of wire fraud rejected by a 12-member Jury on Thursday, the Tribune reports.
The jury deliberated for three days before finding Stockman guilty, a decision that could mean he will face decades behind bars. Two former aides also accepted guilty pleas in the trial, and testified against Stockman.

I once had high hopes for this guy replacing Cornyn until he utterly disappeared half way through the campaign.
