Rep. Duncan Hunter to plead guilty in campaign finance scandal, leave Congress

As for Rep. Hunter, he told KUSI, “Whatever my time in custody will be, I will take that hit. My only hope is that the judge does not sentence my wife to jail. I think my kids need a mom in the home.”

He said he hoped to spare his children the spectacle of a trial.


“I think it would be really tough for them,” he told KUSI. “It’s hard enough being the kid of a public figure, and I think it’s time for them to live life outside the spotlight.”

The change of plea, if entered and accepted by the judge, also would close the complicated appeal that Hunter filed earlier this year. In an unusual move, the East County congressman appealed his prosecution in July to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal even before his trial opened. He was arguing that his campaign spending is protected as legislative activity not subject to prosecution by the executive branch.

I would like to think 18 months is a reasonable sentence, 8 is way too low. This was an egregious display of breaking the public trust, abusing his position, and not accepting responsibility til he exhausted every single options. The judge should send a strong message here.

Judges are only tough on certain criminals.

And for those that haven't been keeping score, Darrell Issa has moved into that district (CA50), and intends to run, as is Carl DeMaio, but he's got the gay, so he can't win.

Anmar is still running from the Dem side. It will be interesting to see if Issa's lebanese ass tries to paint him as a terrorist like Hunter did.
