I agree. And whatever he may "have" will sound like the ravings of a lunatic. Maybe he'll say something about backdoor deals during impeachment or something.

The thing is, I think he believes he can win reelection. He may be working toward that goal and isn't willing to burn too many bridges.

If the House votes to expel him, and if he wins relection, the House will immediately expel him again. He's toast.

Probably not.

But keep in mind--Boston's Mayor James Michael Curley served four terms as mayor--plus four terms in Congress, one term as Massachusetts governor and two terms in jail.

I agree. However, Jimmy T. ain't operating on all cylinders.
