Even if the case against him were to be dismissed, his reputation is ruined and he doesn’t have a future in politics. (or is that assumption no longer valid in today’s political climate?)
Oh hell…the entire GOP in Congress are getting some free-flowing cash in the form of outright corruption now. Schlock was just among one of the first of the Tbaggers to get caught at it, with real justice waiting for him when he was brought up on charges. Can’t say that about the rest of the GOPers still in office however. No one need wonder why this group of legislators can’t manage to get anything done. They’re too busy using themselves and their staff to split the proceeds from whatever donors they can hook into their pay-for-play schemes.
He’s trying to run this out until a sessions-appointed prosecutor is in charge of his case. Doesn’t realize his usefulness is done regardless.
This smacks of trying to claim the cops broke the law by speeding when they chase after you for speeding.
His defense isn’t very “fabulous!”
Schock didn’t lose much popularity in his heavily rural district and could easily run for some state office. This will only feed the narrative that the guvvamint was out to get him.
Downton Abbey to Prison Break. Sad!
