    He will continue to enjoy the privileges afforded to former members of Congress who leave under less controversial circumstances. As long as he isn’t criminally convicted, doesn’t take a job as a foreign lobbyist or isn’t advocating for a specific piece of legislation, he will be able to stroll the halls of the Congress, including access to the floor of the House of Representatives.

    He can dine in the exclusive House restaurant, exercise in the Capitol gym and borrow books from the Library of Congress.

    Now criminally convict him.

    It’s not global news though even if we’re all happy about it. Belongs in uspolitics or news at most. Global implies other countries would care and it would affect them. He’s a nobody on the global news front
