    That fool resigned from Congress so he could be AG. For him to drop out of consideration after throwing away his career in Congress they must have some real shit on him.

      My understanding is that he resigned in part to dodge the release of the ethics report. He thought he had the AG position locked in and knew that if he left Congress, they’d stop investigating him (since it was an internal rather than criminal proceeding). That just makes me think even more strongly that there must be some totally wild shit in that report.

          If any of it gets leaked, it will be from some staffer that will IMMEDIATELY be fired and blackballed, maybe even charged with some nonsense

          Nobody in Congress really gains from it and many of them stand to lose everything if ethics inquiries start going public

            The last time a congressperson tried to leak dirty laundry like that, they immediately busted out the gay underage incest kompromat like the next day lmao.

            We are never finding out what was in that report.

        I don’t know how it works in the house but if a senator leaves the governor picks their replacement.

          It’s completely up to the states. A lot of states have snap elections for Congress. Many states have the same for Senate, but the governor appoints an interim senator.

      To be fair, he’s already been elected to the 119th Congress, so he can still take the oath on January 3rd.
