But he didn’t plead guilty to a sex charge, he pled guilty to “disorderly conduct”.

So it’s not really “fair” to say he admitted guilt to the charge of soliciting sex.

The heavier charge was dropped in exchange for his guily plea. The facts of the case however are what they are. He pled guilty to charges that stemmed from lewd conduct in a public restroom that is known to be a meeting place for gays who want public sex.

Sorry...but dicing the words of the charges will not change that or make it go away. Craig was foolish to ever plead guilty in the hopes it would go away. Any news reporter or investigative journalist is going to look into what a 62 year old grandfather and senior Senator was arrested for disorderly conduct...and then uncover the facts of the case.

For his lapse in judgement alone, he should resign and spare himself, his family, the state of Idaho, the nation and the GOP the circus that is sure to result if he continues to "dig in".

I would like to know how he came to connect in Minneapolis and what the details of the connections were. If it makes it clear he had to go out of his way to get to that restroom, then the rest is academic.
