Here's the Ed Meese info. Guess it was just short of a felony. I stand corrected. Ed MEESE: In March 1984, Attorney General-designate Ed Meese admitted he "inadvertently failed to list" a $15,000 interest-free loan from a man who later received a federal job. He said "it never occurred to me that an interest-free loan was a thing of value." In January 1985, lawyers for Ed Meese, revealed that the Office of Government Ethics found him in violation of federal ethical standards. In July 1988, independent counsel James McKay stated that Ed Meese "probably violated the criminal law" four times since becoming America's chief law enforcement officer. Some violations were that Meese filed a false income tax return, failed to pay capital gains taxes on time, and participated in decisions about matters in which he had a financial interest. Soon after, the Justice Department opens an investigation into Ed Meese's possible violation of federal ethics laws. In January 1989, a Justice Department report detailed "conduct which should not be tolerated by any government employee, especially not the attorney general of the United States."
