Each was released on a personal recognizance bond after a court hearing.

Rod’s probably demanding a bribe to resign.

Moving on the govenor, I think he should appoint his self as senator. After all, he has only been accused of wrong doing not convicted. This would cause a major upset for the democrates in general and Obama in particular.

Well, shoot! There goes the 1st of many. Reigning RATS are putting on the pressure. They & MSM don’t want their golden boy, osama, to be hurt so they’ll get the group to resign & sweep the dirties under the carpet.

Harris should write to everyone he knows and say

“I am not despondent or suicidal — if authorities find my corpse in Grant Park or floating in Lake Michigan, please know that it was NOT a suicide and investigate accordingly.”
