More scandal from "the most ethical Administration in history" (a line that history has proven among the most hysterically funny every mouthed): Court Reinstates 3 Felony Charges Against Espy By George Lardner Jr. Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, June 17, 1998; Page A06 A federal appeals court yesterday reinstated three felony charges accusing former agriculture secretary Mike Espy of violating the Meat Inspection Act of 1907 by taking gifts from two companies he regulated. Espy maintained that the law was meant to punish only front-line meat inspectors who take favors from companies, but the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District emphatically rejected the claim. For Espy's contentions to prevail, the court said, "there must be ambiguity in the statute -- and we see none." The ruling came as two officials of Tyson Foods Inc. went on trial here on charges that they used corporate aircraft, sports tickets and other favors to gain a "cozy" relationship with Espy while new poultry regulations were being considered.... washingtonpost.com Tyson? Where have we heard that name before?
