“You can avoid liability for your criminal actions simply by leaving the job that empowered you to commit those crimes?”
Notice I said in the prior comment IMPEACHMENT. You can’t be impeached from an office you no longer “serve”. Criminal charges on the other hand are another story.... one that should hopefully get more interesting once the GOP (assuming they aren’t all spineless) holds both houses.....

Why would the Republicrats seek criminal charges against one of their own? Ass/u/me

Anyone still clinging to this charade that the Democrats will be held accountable,
try holding your right hand in front of you and ask for an indictment.
Then cup your left hand behind you, be patient and wait to see which gets filled fastest.
