(23,367 posts)1. I hope Snyder beats this and remains in office.
We don't need his Lieutenant Governor Calley running for governor as an incumbent. And for the interim, Calley may be more right-wing than Snyder.
Granted, it would feel good to see Snyder booted out, but there could be consequences.

It's seeking monetary damages and attorney fees.
No criminal charges have been filed yet.
similar to the lawsuits against Trump. Not criminal (though they should be)
