•Secretary of Energy Steven Chu
•Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice
Hillary Clinton, the only First Lady to have been the subject of a grand jury investigation, is a regular visitor to our Most Corrupt list,
•Attorney General Eric Holder:
Holder shamelessly operates the most blatantly politicized Department of Justice (DOJ) in a generation. And, with the Operation Fast and Furious scandal, it is no exaggeration that his agency has blood on its hands.
•Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL)
•Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
•President Barack Obama
Instead of transparency and the rule of law over the past four years, we have witnessed the greatest expansion of government in modern political history and, consequently, an explosion of government secrecy, scandals, and abuses of power.
•Illegal recess appointments
•Illegal immigration
•Unprecedented secrecy
•Unconstitutional czars linked to scandals, thefts and kickbacks, flagrant and offensive statements, conflicts of interest, and radical leftist political ideologies and policies.. unaccountable to the Senate, many of Obama’s czars are often outside the reach of FOIA. Some of these czars exercise unprecedented and unconstitutional control over major aspects of government policy and programs.
•Use of Executive Privilege to protect Eric Holder
Benghazigate, bailouts, abusing the perks of office for luxury vacations for his family, and, of course, his personal involvement in the Solyndra scandal. But the bottom line is this: The federal government under Barack Obama is off the rails and out of control. And now, with Obama having been given the “flexibility†of a second term, it can only be expected to get worse.
•Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
Sen. Reid has sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted organizations that one of his sons, Key Reid, [RW1] either lobbies for or is affiliated with.
Sen. Reid has been a repeat Top Ten offender.
•Rep. David Rivera (R-FL)
•Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
Dishonorable Mentions for 2012 include:
•Former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC)
•Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY)
•Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
•Gen. David Petraeus
•Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
gave false statements under oath regarding Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) activities when she served as the agency’s interim director
•Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)
steering a $12 million to OneUnited, in which she and her board member husband held shares.

Hillary Clinton:
constitutionally ineligible to serve as Secretary of State. According to the Ineligibility Clause of the United States Constitution, no member of Congress can be appointed to an office that has benefited from a salary increase during the time that Senator or Representative served in Congress. A January 2008 Executive Order signed by President Bush during Hillary Clinton’s current Senate term increased the salary for Secretary of State, thereby rendering Senator Clinton ineligible for the position. Past lawbreaking: Chinagate, Filegate, pardons for terrorists, pardons for cash (for her brothers), White House fundraising coffees, Whitewater, Travelgate lies, doing business with the State of Arkansas while her husband was governor, Web Hubbell, smear campaigns, false financial disclosure forms, John Huang, Chinese generals, the Lippo Group, paid sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom, cattle futures fraud, and stealing White House furniture. (In 2008, Hillary received an illegal foreign campaign contribution in the form of a fundraising concert by music icon Elton John).
Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT): took the most campaign money from corrupt institutions Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
