Charges run over racketeering and illegal fundraising. Co-conspirators included being charges to over 30 charges. Yet he still maintains his innocence and claims to be running for office. Wow.

Our California Senator Yee (D) was indicted on nearly the same charges, plus gun running (providing guns to terrorists). People still voted for him while he was sitting in a Federal cell.

I think the bar is a lot lower for Democratic integrity than for Republican.

Come on guys. Be real. This time it's a Democrat. Next time it will probably be a Republican. Politicians on both sides of the aisle get caught all the time.

The glee on either side when someone on the other side is kinda childish.

Actually, most elected officials convicted of crimes are democrats.

Maybe you should "be real".

You make it sound likes its overwhelming. I may be off slightly, but by the data you provided it's still 43% Republicans.

My point stands, there are plenty of lawbreakers on both sides of the aisle.

You said that next time it will probably be a republican. No, next time, it will probably be a democrat. Again.

The media seems to ignore the corruption on the Democrat side though.

Are you kidding. This is all over the media. I heard a long discussion of it yesterday on the radio, which is "the media". It's in my local newspaper. I saw it on television.
