Shouldn't every single Congress member be charged with bribery considering they take money from corporations through lobbyists to pass laws that help corporations?

[bobwhite]

Throw the book at him. Lifetime in prison. Nothing will happen though thanks to the two tier justice system they’ve put in place.

Really funny if they wanna make him guilty, they have to guilty all Senators not only this

[joannekemp]

He said he knew nothing about the giod bars, etc _ why did the FBI find a search for value of gold bars on his computer? Plus what favors would his wife be able to curry any type of favors!

Give me a name, 1 of Senator. They did anything wrong. They are all saying nothing different. Don’t judge only this guy.!!!!

And if he committed these crimes, he should be held accountable. And the same with any other political figure...., including Dump the Chump!!!
