Can’t get lower? Right now he’s muttering ”Hold my beer.”
“Can’t get lower” was foolish hyperbole on my part! No question about it.
I can imagine him over breakfast saying “Honey, I am going to let you take the fall for this. You might get lucky and only get five years and I hear they have nice showers and a place to do your knitting.” I can’t believe he thinks he can get away with putting it all on her and walking free. What a stupid piece of shit. It creates all sorts of fun campaign slogans for his opponent.
I know just repeating what others have said better than I could is taking up space. BUT this guy is such a stone-cold coward and low-life, I can’t help myself. He’s just like Trump: The people who were loyal to him and expected him to be loyal to them and get a rude awakening.
Then again, maybe he and she have made this calculus: If she takes the fall, he might stay in power and prosecutors might be more lenient on her because she’s an underling and not someone the prosecutors care about. Hard to say, but it would make her as evil as he is–which she may be anyway.
I don’t see how he doesn’t take the fall. He is so stupid he thinks he can fool the prosecutors into only going after his wife when he is the big target.
HE signed off on their tax forms; if Trump (for instance) were to pardon him I am ‘sure’ California State would put him in the pokey.
This guy is of course–to say the least–entirely lacking in any sense of chivalry. He is also corrupt. Apart than that, he’s a moron. He is now facing felony criminal charges and he is commenting publicly on the facts of the case. Note that he doesn’t deny the substance of the charges, but shifts blame to his wife. This statement (along with all the others he’s been making) is admissible against him in court if and when his case goes to trial. He is not even smart enough to shut up, which doesn’t take much in the way of smarts at all.
First his daddy was all over local TV shouting about the Democratic witch hunt by the Democratic woman in the Democratic DOJ who had it out for his innocent son, timed to destroy him in November. His daddy has remained very prominent on local news since jr took over his seat, and they afforded him unchallenged airtime to put out his false narrative that jr has subsequently picked up. Hopefully we can get enough airtime to correct this but every affiliate has played along.
Najjar is very young, bright, and if he can get elected will probably be a good congressman. He worked in DC, so isn’t a total neophyte. But in this district getting out the Dem vote will be what matters.
From Marine Corps blue to busted U.S. Representative yellow to, soon, convicted criminal orange.
She is guilty, but her guilt doesn’t reduce his.
From Cilizza (he can get it right now and then): The 30 most astounding moments in Rep. Duncan Hunter’s 47-page indictment
3.“Duncan Hunter facilitated the theft of campaign funds by ignoring his campaign staff’s multiple warnings about Margaret’s improper use of campaign funds, accusing campaign staff of disloyalty by ‘trying to create some kind of paper trail on me’ when they raised concerns about improper spending, and continually refusing to remove her access to campaign funds.”
18.“On or about October 30, 2012, following an article in the San Diego Reader publicizing Margaret’s salary and various expense reimbursements, Duncan Hunter relieved her of her formal duties with the campaign. Although the campaign was in dire financial condition, and had just canceled a pre-election mailer due to insufficient funds, Duncan Hunter continued to pay Margaret Hunter a salary from campaign funds and allowed her to keep her campaign credit card.”
There’s plenty more. He comes across as an extremely pathetic version of an entitled man-child.
Semper fickle…
We need a profile in courage section.
Whatever dude. your account was overdrawn 1100+ times in 7 years, (Just about every other day) $37000 in fees. If someone was handling my finances I think by the second or third overdraft I’d have a chat with them. No this sounds more like a team effort.
Sure hope his wife makes room for this sleaze under the bus where she finds herself
I’m going to go way out on a limb and say that I don’t believe him.
Yes please, wash rinse repeat.
Just how do they do it? Do they leave their sense of right and wrong at the door after they are elected? It is amazing to me how these elected asshats just feed at the state/federal trough. Is it greed or desire, so they feel poor and see an opportunity to steal? I think they should donate their brains to science, for study. 🙆
Duncan Hunter says “Ladies First”… he’s such a gentleman! *(little did we know he meant “under the bus”)
I couldn’t care less whether this contemptible scuzzbag and his partner in crime throw each other under the bus or not. Just as long as they both get the prison sentences they deserve.
Living on $174k must extra difficult when you have lawyers to pay, maybe two sets of them.
