FBI Sting nets Illinois State Rep

State Rep. Derrick Smith was arrested following a 3 month sting operation, and I don't mean the guy from the Police, by the FBI.

In exchange for the a $7,000.00 bribe, Smith allegedly agreed to write a letter of recommendation for a fictional creation of the investigators.

Smith demanded the bribe in cash, which is probably a good idea so that there is no trace, unless of course the payer is the FBI. Smith is quoted as saying " I don't want no trace of it" according to the complaint.

This guy must be a bag of hammers stupid. Every politician is being paid in some form and he asks for CASH??!!

Is Public Service such a thing anymore?
