Not a clear answer.
Please put aside the vitriol for a moment.
Does he have millions in illicit funds waiting for him on release or not?
The money he got in bribes was hardly “Taxpayer funds”, or are the taxpayers now the intended recipients of bribes which he intercepted?
No use of arms in his crime, no one was physically harmed.
Greedy, yes.
Gave in to temptation, yes.
But no one injured.
So I would restore his basic rights.
Same for others, unless physical harm or threat was involved, rights to be restored.
Under that standard I would include drug dealers among those losing some of their civil rights, drugs kill and maim.
EVERYONE retains the right to self-defense sans firearms, even thugs.
No one can be compelled to accept assault.

Is it your belief that the companies with government contracts that give 2.4 million in bribes to a congressman do not pass that cost on to the taxpayer?
