sure people are curious but the FBI isn't going to tell anyone until they are good and ready.
There should be stiffer sentences for politicians who use their office for personnal gain.

If it was any of those things, he'd have been arrested and we'd all know. It's something much bigger that. They've taken a lot of evidence from his home and his office. The Feds are getting their ducks in a row for something big. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Or could it have something to do with the bully that he is? Can't get his way in a difficult race with a noisy candidate? No problem, we'll just rearrange the voting districts so that the outcome should be more favorable.

Ding dong, the witch is dead 
He was 2nd in command of the Kelptocarcy - #1 is in Washington. Do not be suprised to see more pins fall. But keep electing these progressives to positions of power in a one party state
OK - 2 parties, the Democrats and the Progressives! They can't blame this state on the Independents or Republicans |

yup, and now his 2nd in command is going to take his place...depressing....I was talking to a guy this morning who was just moving into the area to retire and was a little concerned about our state of corruption....he'd mentioned this story and said that he'd been curious so he'd Googled our Reps and Senators...all career politicians ...Governor...career politician..he noted that outside of Reid's military time he couldn't cite where any of them had any...well...any experience outside of being political hacks .....we seem to grow career hack politicians hatched from lawyers and enjoy the corruption that follows in our unique climate better than we do most other things...I'm just shocked that he's out so quickly..it must be REALLY bad, otherwise we'd have the press conference denying any wrong doing and stating he needs to get back to doing the work of the RI people

The ironic thing is that Fox had been moving though pension reform and even got money from the NRA. I'm not sure I understand the witch comments above.
I read on the Blaze that he was actually considered a more conservative Democrat. Then I read the comments under the story and it was pretty repulsive. Amazing the bottom feeders that a site like that attracts.
