James A. Traficant (D-Ohio)

The House voted overwhelmingly to expel the former Mahoning County sheriff on July 24, 2002, three months after a federal jury in Cleveland convicted Traficant on 10 counts of racketeering, bribery and tax evasion. During the trial, which Bob Dart of Cox News Service described as “part Sopranos and part Three Stooges,” Traficant drew a lecture from the presiding judge after saying his prosecutors had “the testicles of an ant.”
