Note: several readers have sent in suggestions for additions to the Crime Sheet. They are all excellent suggestions. However, in the interest of keeping this thing from becoming unwieldy, we have chosen to list only senior officials in the federal government and those who have significant influence over them. Including state and local Republican criminals in our list might cause the site to crash ;)
