Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks is expected to resign from Congress, a source with knowledge told Roll Call.

The 8th District congressman did not confirm or deny any plans to resign. He said he expected to make a statement Thursday.

“We will have a statement a little bit later, but that’s all I can tell you right now,” Franks told Roll Call. “The statement will explain.”

Well, he has already had a very long career. So there’s that.
Mistakes were (possibly) made.

This is why he did not run for Flakey’s seat.

I don’t know the history on Franks but if he is a “swamp dweller”, he too needs to go. I have no sympathies for any of them and in particular demodummies, they deserve everything and anything they get.

Well I don’t know what this feller is accused of. But in the 1970’s I touched a titty.

Franks has not come out with the reason why he is resigning but he is a very conservative representative. This will be a loss to the GOP.

“The statement will explain.”

It seems like a good thing for anyone elected from Arizona to resign. Hope the trend continues and accelerates.

Guess we know why Trent Franks never went for the Senate.

He was one of the few from Arizona who was not a Cheap Labor Express stooge.

I’m just sayin...maybe we are about to see exactly why the spineless, cowardly, mild-mannered, go-along-to-get-along, compromising, do-nothing, reach-across-the-aisle, ineffective Republicans, never accomplish anything. Perhaps they are all compromised and subject to a myriad of threats of disclosure. If someone had, oh lets say 900 FBI files with this type of sensitive info, it could probably be used to advantage perhaps.
