The younger Duncan Hunter, a Republican congressman from San Diego County, who "inherited" the seat from his father, was indicted this week for multiple counts of misusing campaign funds, a federal offense. Hunter fils and his wife overspent his income and used campaign money like a slush fund that they could tap whenever and wherever. Now there hasn't been any trial yet so the presumption of innocence is on his side, but he has already released two separate defenses. The first is that this is all a deep state conspiracy against him because he supports Trump despite the fact that the DoJ is headed by Republicans appointed and approved by a Republican majority. His other defense is that he didn't do anything at all, that it was entirely his wife's doing, thus throwing her under the bus.
Forget the "few, the proud, the Marines" motto that he espoused his whole life. Forget the "till death do us part" vow that he undoubtedly swore to when he was married. No more Semper Fi in that marriage.Forget any loyalty or honor--throw your wife under the bus when it suits your political exigencies.
And this _____ was the second congressman to support Dump. The first was indicted also. I keep being surprised just how corrupt they all are.
