Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) on Tuesday told a reporter to leave my wife out of it as he discussed their recent indictment on charges of misusing campaign funds, days after he appeared to blame his wife, Margaret, for the charges.
Leave my wife out of it. Leave my family out of it, he said in an interview with 10News, an ABC affiliate in San Diego. Its me theyre after anyway. Theyre not after my wife. They want to take me down. Thats what theyre up to.
Both Duncan and Margaret Hunter were indicted last week, charged with misusing at least $250,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses. Hunter is accused of using the funds to pay for trips to Italy and Hawaii, his familys dental work, his childrens tuition and travel for relatives, among other personal expenses.
Hunter said in an interview on Fox News last week that his wife was responsible for the campaign spending.
"She was also the campaign manager, so whatever she did, that'll be looked at too, I'm sure," Hunter said at the time. "But I didn't do it. I didn't spend any money illegally."

I know if someone fucked me like that, I would have ZERO problem throwing them to the wolves.

(5,969 posts)The next question should have been, in order to leave his wife out, that he explains all the expenses that were paid by the campaign, like flying his pets around. I bet he would have reverted very fast to blaming his "campaign manager" again.

Criminal indictments are no biggee.
