Think he'll get a time-out or what?

I hope they kick his crooked $## out and cut off his pension. But he'll just get a slap on the wrist and a gold medal instead.

Possible sanctions include a House vote deploring his conduct, a fine and denial of certain privileges

I bet it wont be much....

and this is why we need term limits for both the house and senate.

If he's sentenced to time, my prediction is a presidential pardon.

[diablos30]

i dont care if he does time, i would be happier if he was stripped of all his benifits.

i myself think ALL politicians should be stripped of their FREE benefits. every last one of them. they make at least $200k grand a year on their salary, and god knows how much more with what they got their hands in. especially the ones who get voted out. it's just entitlement after entitlement. a guy i work with broke it down for me. ''if we got FIRED would they continue to give us benefits? LIFETIME benefits no less? would they give us our pensions? nope.'' that was a very good way of looking at it.

in new york i know all about this guy. he's gotta be around 80 years old now i think. he's been in office almost as long as i've been alive. this guy is no good. i was laughing when i heard about the allegations, but in the back of my mind i knew he would get away scott free. i am sure he will be pardoned. if you wanna start taking away benefits though i say start with this guy.

The cure for politicians.....get them off the federal payroll and put them on their respective state's. They would get the same benefits as any other state employee.

They do work for the states and not the feds.....correct?

Actually they work for the people of their respective state districts.

They need to make an example of him !---strip him of all money, assets and benefits!

I would have no problem seeing him on a chain gang either!

So sick of seeing scum float on top!
