The whole “deep state” routine was a plan (Consciousness of guilt). They thought they could use that phony BS to sway public opinion once their dirty deeds came to light! One dirty legislator after the other!

They pulled it like a weapon, even before Trump was elected in 2016.

And, ps Duncan Hunter...you nasty! Gross! Go away!

I read the whole indictment earlier, and was amazed at how much the couple used that campaign credit card for their own groceries, kids' birthday celebrations, sports expenses, etc.

But somehow it seems even worse that he was so corrupt that every little thing that he could have paid himself, like a beer, was paid for by his campaign contributors. He and his wife spent their own and other people's money like it was going out of style, but surely he could have paid cash for one beer.

Doesn't mean he used campaign funds for EVERY beer.

So much other scumbag shit going on I'd say the last thing I care about ... is one beer on the campaign tab.

if there is a way to commit adultery that DOES have something to do with the campaign.

Where it says "engaged in intimate personal activities unrelated to Hunter's congressional campaign".

Then, you could claim all manner of use of campaign funds for use...of course, you would have a hard time with donors and first wives and a number of other persons...

Junior must be hoping that the dirty donnie "squalid activities are A-OK" halo effect applies to him, too.

And that the dumbass East San Diegotucky 'necks who voted him in will continue to support him because the alternative is a guy with a furrin'-sounding name.

Of course, if he is convicted of a felony I guess all bets are off.

In every way. He seems to be made of the same stuff Trump is made of. Not one redeeming quality. A liar, a thief, a cheat, a narcissist, a man who cares for nobody but himself and lives for immediate gratification. I hope he ends up behind bars.
