Disgraced Rep. Aaron Schock's (R-IL) father said Wednesday that he believes his son will emerge unscathed from the storm of ethical and legal problems plaguing him -- unless he winds up in jail.

"If they're going to convict him on paperwork, they're going to convict him. That's their privilege," Dr. Richard Schock told Chicago TV station WLS. "If it's the law, and he broke the law and they want to convict him on that -- fine."

The congressman announced Tuesday that he would resign effective March 31. He cited weeks of media inquiries into his finances as "a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself."

The congressman's father told the news station that he himself had been audited by the IRS several times, so he knew something of what his son was going through. He then suggested his son may have broken the law with respect to mileage reimbursement.

1. Successful is apparently OUT!

2. Isnt he an un out gay person who votes against gay issues?

3. No, he's not out and no one is sure he's gay...

people assume he is gay because he fulfills a few stereotypes of gay men; fashion, interior design, single (at age 33), lives with another man, etc.

4. I said un out...sure sounds like a gay man who legislates against gay rights for personal gain

but i could be wrong

5. Sorry, didn't catch the "un" but, presumably,

if he is a closeted gay man his votes against the LGBT Community will be remembered. Who knows, maybe now that he doesn't have to rattle around in the GOP closet, he'll come out!
