My guess is he’ll probably “temporarily” step down as chairman to allow for time to “clear” his name, or some nonsense like that.

Everything is temporary - like ethics and cheating on your taxes.

No way he just walks away. He will have to be dragged off in handcuffs, kicking and screaming.

If he had a shred of dignity and humility, he would resign from the Congress altogether.

That’ll never happen. Not in this life. Not on this planet.

This was TPM’s line last night.

He is “Temporarily” stepping down from his chairmanship, but not the committee, and not from Congress, whatever that means.

Democrats don’t resign. They have to be dragged out kicking and screaming, or carried out in a casket.
