I actually heard some woman say he's innocent until proved guilty. I was screaming at the tv, "he's already admitted what he did by saying he's going to get treatment, ya maroon!"
They are going to push him out, I think. All but 2 of the city councilmen are calling for him to resign (and they are getting a lot of pressure to make it unanimous), plus the national Dems (Pelosi, Wassermen-schultz, etc) won't go near the slime much less back him up.
He is going to be forced into the realization that he's done. I just hope it's before we have to foot the bill for a recall!
Filner is probably waiting for a nice financial offer from the city to get rid of him. Maybe a nice big severance payment and full pension for life, as if he had served out two terms, plus full defense costs and indemnity from civil claims by the victims. That would be just about right. (s)
The Dems would approve it, because it isn’t their money.
