Lies and Spies
The Republicans can't seem to function without breaking some rule of law or ethics.

Republican operatives working out of Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch's office successfully hacked into the computers of and spied on several prominent Democrats, most notably Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy, for over a year from the Spring of 2002 through April of 2003. As The Boston Globe noted on January 22, 2004, the memos were then leaked at useful moments to The Washington Times, Bob Novak, and others.

And this is from an article published in 2004. Not only has nothing come of it but it is completely off the radar in the media.
