The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, is concerned about the steady decline in the federal prosecution of corrupt government officials. So, along with a Republican colleague, Senator John Cornyn of Texas, he introduced a bill to provide law enforcement with new tools to attack the problem. In Leahy's opening statement at a committee hearing on the bill, he cited two sources to document the reality that such prosecutions were significantly lower: the Justice Department's Inspector General and TRAC.
