Thanks for commenting!
Corbin:
Due process ------------>
goes right over many liberal's heads.
Xenox,. thanks for calling it right about due process.
Blogflogger, it's actually the rules implemented by the Republicans for their own members that call for resignation from leadership position in event of indictment. His resignation from the house in an election year is not so strange when you take his rationale - to remove himself from the race and allow another candidate who will be free to run on the issues rather than shackled to a fraudulent indictment - at face value. As for him leaving his district without representation, that would be the case anyhow since he is resigning!

WriterofLight - He didn't need to quit. He chose to quit. House rules ...
... required he step down from his leadership position once indicted, but it was his choice to resign from his position.
By quitting now, he can use his war fund for legal defense. The amount available is unknown, but in January it was approximately $1,000,000.
Strange behaviour though from an innocent man who claims his dutry in life is his political role on behalf of Texans and Republicans. Once he changes his legal address to D.C. his district will be without a Representative.
