23. Former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney spent time in prison for less.

I know Thomas would have to be impeached to get rid of him, but has he not committed multiple felonies by taking these things of value and not reporting them?

Besides possible bribery charges, has he declared all of these 'gifts' on his income taxes?

Bob Ney was basically put in prison for not declaring a paid golf trip, and not playing ball with his fellow Republicans over the Bush/Cheney mideast wars.
