Former Pennsylvania Congressman Michael Myers was charged this week with conspiring to violate election laws by allegedly bribing an election official to "stuff" the ballot box for candidates who had hired Myers to assist in their campaigns.
As a former federal prosecutor, I once prosecuted the largest vote buying case in American history.
Myers was previously convicted of bribery in 1981 in connection with the infamous Abscam scandal. During that investigation, Myers was videotaped while accepting a bribe from an undercover agent. At that time, Myers reportedly had said, on tape, "money talks in this business and bullshit walks."
Of course, Myers is presumed to be innocent, unless and until proven guilty in court.
