        Tomorrow. There had been a House Ethics Committee investigation into his antics, which was just wrapping up. But that committee can only investigate House members, so now that he isn’t anymore they may not be able to release that report.

        He is in the unique position that his political career may actually improve after resigning a House seat but getting his nomination torpedoed by the Senate. He can make a living off listing off his grievances on Conservative talk shows, biding his time for the 2028 Presidential Nomination.

          Committee rules prohibit the release of that report since he’s no longer a member of Congress.

          That has to be the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. Why in the hell would that be a rule? They could have all kinds of damning evidence and he walks because he quit in time?

          WTAF.

          In completely unrelated news,
