Hunter is still being supported by the GOP...
same old, same old. Just like Nunes, they have no shame. They will probably both get reelected since their names are going to be on the ballot and the GOP voters in their districts are stubborn RW asses.

Hunter’s campaign released a statement after news of the indictment broke in which one of his attorneys, Gregory A. Vega, attacked the credibility of prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Vega called for the U.S. Department of Justice to recuse the prosecutors. The campaign also released a letter from Vega to Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, which further accused the DOJ of a politically motivated attack on Hunter. “The overt political leanings of two individuals intimately involved in the investigation, combined with, among other things, the Southern District’s sudden, inexplicable rush to indict my client before the general election without affording him sufficient due process, create an actual and/or apparent conflict that cannot be ignored,” the letter said. The statement said two prosecutors involved in the investigation attended a fundraiser for Democrat Hillary Clinton in August 2015.
Hunter was first elected to Congress in 2008, when he won the seat his father held for 14 terms.
He was an early supporter of Donald Trump, and was among the first members of Congress to endorse the then-presidential candidate. In the weeks after Trump was elected president, Hunter’s name was floated as a possible cabinet secretary. Hunter’s father, former Rep. Duncan L. Hunter, could not be reached by the Union-Tribune on Tuesday. On 10News, he defended his son, saying Margaret Hunter was responsible for the larger expenses, and Hunter had nothing to do with them. He said expenses at restaurants are normal for campaigns because the candidates can’t accept contributions at their official offices and must go elsewhere to conduct campaign business.
The former congressman went on to accuse prosecutors of being motivated by their political agenda. In defense of his son’s character, Hunter reminded reminded the voters that Hunter had a strong record of service to his country. “This is the same guy who, when we were attacked on 9/11, quit his job right downtown, walked across the street, joined the Marine Corps, and deployed in three combat tours for our freedom” Hunter said. “Wait for the verdict.”
