That would mean the report could be easily resumed or released, since he would be a current member again.
I’m sure the Republicans will shut it down because they are corrupt, but being a returning member could undermine the opposition based on him not being a current member right now.
Paying minors for sex is hard time in prison. If evidence of such a thing became public the DOJ would essentially be forced to prosecute him. Right now they can just ignore it. Which they prefer to do because they like being employed.
Hard to compare the actions of a pedophile and the Russian asset he pardoned before. But yeah, one might look worse to the public. Not like he needs to care about what the public thinks anymore.
Nah, just has to have the media to sell it so there are a million angry peasants to counter those million peasants, and most of them not able to see how they would be able to feed themselves in a week if anything actually happened.
Yeah and if I’m mad it’s not at you. The reason though that countering one crowd with another doesn’t work is that all you’ve done is create a civil war at that point. The idea for any leader is to avoid a crisis of legitimacy so bad that you have to deal with an angry mob in the first place.
Gotta be something big to quit congress after being reelected and then decline the cabinet nomination used to justify pulling out.
This sounds like something serious. Someone should search his couches!
He quit to end the Congressional investigation. Was on his way out one way or another. This was just his attempt to fall upwards.
Maybe they’ll add him to the DOGE roster after this. You can fuck all the teenagers you want over there and nobody will complain
He quit to have this dismissed, but he could return in January since he won election. The DOJ nomination was there to distract us, why he did it.
I don’t think anyone in DC gives a shit about what we think
Vance will search them for free
To be clear, he resigned from current Congress. He was still reelected to next Congress.
He said he was not going to join the 119th Congress either in his resignation.
that house committee report must be pretty spicy for him to toss away his legislative career just to keep it from being made public.
I was not aware of that, thanks!

Is it hard time in prison though? He trafficked them across state lines, meaning it goes to a federal court which makes it eligible for pardon
I could be wrong, but I thought it went federal soon as it crosses the border
A pardon for actual pedophilia might just be too much, even for Trump.

Even dictators have to care. There isn’t a military in the world that can stop a million angry peasants.

Edit: Sorry, just being contrary today it seems.
