I'd rather get new congressmen than free the blackmailed corrupt ones we have.
He could be a witness for the big fish before serving 10 years instead of 30.
I doubt they're blackmailed over a parking ticket. These congressmen's younger days were not spent around camera phones where a single moment of acting like a drunken fool becomes a twitter trend.
This means that in the past these blackmailed congressmen voted how they were told, so how can we trust their voting record? What happens when Trump leaves office? Blackmailed again. There is nothing special about many of these congressmen. They basically voted yay or nay like a trained monkey. We don't need them.
I love mediocrity in govt, especially at the top of the legislative branch.
