Ok. I have no dog in this fight, but to declare this a loss for Democrats is a bit silly.
1) Schock has to pay $68,000.
2) He has to pay outstanding taxes from 2010 to 2015.
3) He had to admit that he failed to accurately report mileage (which means he had to admit to lying).
4) He is officially taking "appropriate public accountability for his conduct." Umm...you don't take accountability for your conduct unless it is untoward.
5) Schock had to pay a lot of money to defend himself over a 4 year period.
6) He had to resign.
7) He is likely tainted now with regard to a future in politics after having been a "rising star" in the Republican Party.
8) Schock has to uphold the terms of the agreement for 6 months which includes him paying back any money owed, or the feds can go after him for any of the crimes for which he was charged.
So, to connect this to the subject of this thread, if Trump had to resign, meant his political career was over, had to pay back everything he owes in taxes and fines, had to keep his nose clean for 6 months or he could be charged with any of the crimes he is accused of, I'd be happy with that deal as a Democrat.
We don't want or need criminals in government. Get them the F out.
