REPORT from credible source: Cochran is planning to resign if a special election is called..

Yesterday, I questioned whether the person tweeting this in haste meant to say "concede" rather than "resign."

In the context of the primary, conceding makes more sense. Resigning and sending in a lame-duck seat-warmer over the summer who can't run in November makes no sense.

Resign makes more sense because there is criminal evidence that one of Cochran’s congressional staffers prepared the ‘walkin around money’ to buy the votes which is a crime. There is very credible evidence to this and there is no way Cochran can escape it even if he claims he never knew about it. He can be kicked out of Congress and lose his pension.

Reigning is a way for him to minimize his losses.

I would think that the Attorney General Eric Holder will step in and put pressure on the illegality of these things... (SARC)
