Duke Cunningham isn't the end

Talking Points has a couple of posts on the Mitchell Wade plea agreement, and it looks like this investigation is far from over and may garner several other figures beyond the Dukester.
Wade was able to exploit the [defense] procurement system in three distinct ways: by bribing a sitting United States Congressman; by conspiring to give favors to Department of Defense officials responsible for procuring services from Wade's company; and by funneling illegal campaign contributions to two Members of Congress.

There's a much more comprehesive version here outlining all the details.

So we're looking at least one more congressman and several Department of Defense officials who are being ratted out by the guy who corrupted them. Stay tuned, it's gonna get better.
