I keep hearing one way then the other. Hopefully they'll make up their minds soon.

Mr. Money in the Freezer only had the book thrown at him because he was under a serious investigation by the feds. Little is being said that Maxine Waters is due for a verdict by the ethics committee as well. And this is why the CBC wants to pull the plug on investigations because their members are falling one by one....

Evidently no one is offering the lucrative lobbyist deal....oh, wait. Didn't they put a time qualifier on that for Congressional reps? Looks like he has no where to go but fight. For political expediency I wonder how much pressure will continue to shove him out the door?
