Yeah. They started the investigation a week ago and are ready to indict now. Sure.
This is probably the club held over the heads of a good many Democrat legislators - opposition research has already exhaustively searched out and studied all the weaknesses and secrets of their less than totally reliable allies, and indictments have already been written and in a drawer or on a computer file somewhere in the Just-Us Department. A whisper in the ear of the suspect turncoat, reminding them that certain things are “known”, is all that is needed to keep most of them in line.
The late US Congressman (D-Ohio)James Traficant was found to be “unfit” as a Democrat, and was tried and convicted on charges that would never have come to light with a more compliant member.
Former Senator Robert Torricelli, also by coincidence from New Jersey, was tarnished by revelations of receiving illegal campaign contributions, again not necessarily a charge that would have been raised against a more compliant member, and was forced out of the reelection bid in 2002, replaced by a truly incompetent (but compliant) Frank Lautenberg.
When the game looks like it might be going against the wishes of the puppetmasters, time to kick over the chess board.
