Good. Corruption on either side should be punished.

He said, "I have violated my core values and I don't deserve your sympathy."

And he'll get none from any of us, but the thing that pisses me off, is that when a demonRAT gets caught doing similar crap, that get a wrist slap and another gummint yob.

“False statement to the FBI” or “from the FBI”?

How any GOP politician could do something stupid knowing their every breath is being scrutinized by vicious enemies is just mind boggling.

Maybe it’s coincidental, but the timing of this announcement seems suspicious, and the GAO announcement was plainly so.

Collins is a country-club Republican, who used his wealth and name to grab a safely conservative seat. BUT - he was one of the earliest of Trump supporters in Congress.

“He said, ‘I have violated my core values and I don’t deserve your sympathy.’”

Stamford Advocate-
The case ended the career of one of Trump's most ardent early supporters. Collins represented New York's 27th Congressional District, which encompasses suburban and rural areas stretching east of the Buffalo metropolitan area, for more than five years. The district is a Republican stronghold that supported Trump by a wide margin in the presidential election.

I don’t mind at all. He was found guilty.

Now, how about ten trials at least, knowing what we know about Leftists.

I was thinking the same except that Democrats never admit to their corruption.

They are given super-lawyers paid for by outside hidden entities and promised book deals that supplements and expands their retirement plan. They are taken care of so they never turn on their handlers.

The response from the Democrat sounded like somebody who’ll cross the aisle to help all his constituents. Sarcoff//
