The disgraced Congressman from Illinois, Rep Aaron Schock (R), leaves Congress with $3.3 million in campaign funds and a pension at 62. WASHINGTON - When scandalized Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., resigns from Congress at the end of the month, he will still control $3.3 million in political funds and be eligible for a federal pension when he is 62 - if he is not convicted of committing a crime during his time in the House...

They don't use campaign funds to paint the walls of their offices the color of a fine pinot noir with the help of a "pro-bono" decorator, or furnish them with such accoutrements as vases full of pheasant feathers. (Though at least the sepia portraits that hung above Schock's gold-accented sconces were of Presidents, rather than of aristocratic ancestors.) They don't post photos from their junkets on Instagram, or sell a house in Peoria to a campaign donor for a few hundred thousand dollars more than comparable houses in the neighborhood. Or, at least, they keep such transactions a couple of steps removed, maybe in the form of a job or a below-market apartment for a relative, or an investment in a son-in-law's business. Once one gets past some of Schock's poorer decisions (a GQ photo shoot, the bare-chested Men's Health cover), the money aspects of his downfall seem routine and boring. (Mileage reimbursements?) Some of the attention he got probably had more to do with speculation about his personal life than his financial probity. But the story showed something about politics, too. The usual, quiet exchanges of money and influence carried out in Washington were, in Schock's case, affectionately recorded on social media for all to see - which somehow made them look even worse. http://www.newyorker.com/news/...son/aaron-schock-party

For every Republican in hot water, there is a liberal right there with him. The latest is Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ).
