ribit,

I think he was/is in denial.
You know what the kicker is..
the husband of mistress (both worked for Ensign) is now indicted because Ensign steered him to some Lobbyists to get work, after Ensign fired them & something went wrong.
So Ensign will walk off into the sunset with his pension & the other guy lost his job, home & may face time in prison...

And... even if the congress folks are found guilty while serving, & serve prison time they still get their pension.
There is NO justice... clo

...I have been trying to figure out why he hasn't just resigned and got it over with. My guess is that he has to stay in office until that particular date before he can draw a lifetime of pension and benefits.

...IMHO, when a politician resigns from office for any reason other than health, or if they become ensnared in some legal or moral morass, they should have to pay the cost of the election to replace em.

That would include Newt Gingrich and his crowd and anyone else.
