Like some others are proposing. He's probably being groomed for Sessions' position.
We know what happens after that.

(How many is it now? One every day or two?)- are counting on the sh*t hitting the fan later rather than sooner. So they are letting the clock run out on their term and hope to get outta Dodge before it all collapses around them. What they are hoping is that their part in the theft of the 2016 election will get lost in the shuffle. Might happen for some of them but there are SOME that should probably face charges for treason. Bastards. 😡

This is an R+15 District and none of the Democrats has more than $500 in the bank.
