According to Vegas letter, prosecutors told the defense that they have pictures of indiscretions.
While there may be evidence of infidelity, irresponsibility or alcohol dependence, once properly understood, the underlying facts do not equate to criminal activity," Vega wrote.

Or if it meant telling those uppity gay people they have NO rights. Especially marriage.

uppity is sarcasm, of course

(47,549 posts)thoroughly brainwashed for years and in their minds, Democrats are pure evil. Nonstop Fox News and right-wing radio has done its job. Many are past deprogramming, but we can hope they will die off or go back to watching reality TV and pro wrestling.

(62,276 posts)As more and more gets digested about how scummy they were over this it will become clear.
The guy was having multiple affairs with campaign money and his wife was using it as a day to day piggy bank to buy fast food and toys and other garbage.
It's so well documented that the media will be able to report on it on a weekly basis and keep it in the minds of voters.
I expect a lot will stay home.

Hell, they'll probably even say it's his right as a "Real Man" to do that sort of thing, because Real Men who wear Jeysus on their sleeve and punch hippies are Great American Heroes who can do no wrong and are just expected to take what they want as their due.
He's a Real Man, just like all those wanna-be cowboy outlaw brazillionaires out there in the 'burbs and East County foothills like to pretend they are.

(11,265 posts)Hunters campaign spending on behalf of Individual 14 lasted more than a year, including driving his car on a 468-mile trip to Virginia Beach and a personal stay at the Liaison Capitol Hill in the first half of 2011, the indictment claims.
Three days later, Hunter had his campaign pay a $1,008 tab at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino for food, drinks and three nights lodging during a personal ski trip with Individual 14, the indictment states.
Two years later, the indictment moves on to Individual 15. Prosecutors say Hunter began charging Uber rides to the persons home in Washington D.C. He spent campaign money on Individual 15 for two years, until July 2015, costs that included ridesharing, drinks and barbecue, prosecutors allege.

(11,265 posts)will bother them much. Like their objections to abortion, that is more a means to an end than anything they actually care about.
But possibly spending their money to carry on affairs? That has to sting a little bit, I'd hope.

(32,467 posts)In January 2010, just one year into his first term in office after succeeding his father representing San Diego County, Hunter dropped more than $1,000 in campaign money on a personal three-day ski trip at a resort in Lake Tahoe with Individual 14.
He spent $121.34 on food and beer two months later at a concert with Individual 14 and Congressman A and his date, the indictment states.
Hunters spending on Individual 14 lasted through June 2011, when he allegedly spent $254 of campaign money on beer, golf, and clothes.
For two years, from 2013 to 2015, Hunter charged his campaign for expenses on Individual 15. He ordered Uber rides to Individual 15s home and paid for bar tabs and food, per the indictment.
In June 2015, overlapping by a month with his spending on outings with Individual 15, Hunter allegedly began using his campaign cash on Individual 16.
Hunter, who worked with Individual 16, according to the indictment, spent $203 at Washingtons H Street Country Club with the individual, as well as Congressman C and his date.
Hunter had brief relationships with two other people in Washington, Individuals 17 and 18, in October 2015 and September 2016, respectively.
Hunter charged his campaign $42 for Uber rides to and from Individual 17s home on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of October 2015.
One early morning in September 2016, he paid $32 for an Uber from Individual 18s home to his office.
Hunter also spent $865.63 in campaign funds for a room at the Liaison Capitol Hill while Individual 7, a California friend of Hunter and his wife, visited from San Diego while Margaret Hunter was still in California, the indictment reads.

I support a lot of the things that he stands for but I also support the rule of law and if hes misused funds then he needs to be held accountable, Allison said.
He added that Donald Trumps lack of tweeting about Hunters indictment makes him less hopeful that Hunter is innocent, and that he still hopes for Hunter Jrs exoneration. Amber Hills, 38, said she supported Duncan Hunter Sr. in the past but has not been keeping up with Hunter Jrs indictment
The above statement is typical of what makes me wonder if we're going to survive this round of right-wing madness: "Donald Trumps lack of tweeting about Hunters indictment makes him less hopeful...."
What is wrong with these people?....... ...... ........ ........
