Spend, spend spend! Republican congressman FINALLY admits he blew $250,000 of campaign cash on tequila shots at a bachelor party, skiing with a mistress, groceries, Legos and first class travel for pet rabbit Eggburt
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Duncan Hunter finally pleaded guilty to abuse of $250,000 in campaign funds in a plea deal with federal prosecutors in San Diego

  • Republican had fought allegations for more than a year and called it a 'witch hunt' claiming he was being targeted like Donald Trump

  • But after his wife Margaret took a plea deal which would have seen her testify, he changed his tune and admitted to corruption

  • Campaign cash was illegally spent on entertaining string of mistresses, family trips abroad, and even a first class ticket for Eggburt the Hunters' pet rabbit

  • Hunter, 42, is yet to say when he will stand down; he is scion of political dynasty and his father Duncan Hunter Sr. held the 50th CA District before him

  • Outside the court crowd jeered 'lock him up' and held up signs saying 'Trump next'; Hunter was one of first two GOP congressmen to endorse then candidate

  • Other one was Chris Collins, who quit the House in September after pleading guilty to insider trading

#2 Margo really doesn't need to carry a sign, but a "Don't Come Near Me" T-shirt might be of great assistance to the uninformed.

#3 And you wonder why even in control of Congress the Trunks could not pass a reduced let alone a balanced budget. See - other people's money.

#8 So Hunter did the calculation that spending on mistresses was cheaper than renting pedo-girls at Epstein's Isle?

#9 Get what you pay for; apparently purchases at Epstein's include various insurance guarantees.

And I'm sure its one of those The Club Invites You deals.

#10 The Daily Mail? Are the Brits interfering in our politics...again. At first, I thought this was the Bee what with the rabbit twist.
