Grimm's Fate

his plan has to be to continue collecting paychecks as long as he can.

The real issue here is why convicted felons who are/were members of Congress still receive bloated pensions.

same reason Obama won't prosecute any of the Bush-era torturers: "because that could be me some day, better not make the rules too tight"

Nixon probably would have held on til the bitter end were it not for the pension issue.  he'd have been stripped of all his benefits were he impeached.

if you think Pelosi will be the one working to get Grimm expelled you really don't understand a damn thing.

Grimm is resigning.

I wonder what Boehner gave him in return.. does Boehner have influence over the judge/prosecutors?  could it be as crude as cash in a bag, or a connection to a private sector job?

or is Grimm such a sad sap that he fell for some "you can rehabilitate yourself and have a political future" claptrap?

Dang it, no largest majority since 1928. We'll have to settle for '46. (Unless we win the special election). That's the only reason I wanted to see Grimm sworn in for another term.

the GOP is probably a 3:1 or 4:1, if not stronger, favorite to hold the seat.
