Running While Indicted Usually Doesn’t End Well
August 11, 2018 at 8:53 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
NBC News: In vowing to remain on the ballot for his re-election race this fall — despite facing insider trading charges — New York Republican Rep. Chris Collins joins a not-so-exclusive club of lawmakers who have refused to resign even after being indicted.”
“Unfortunately for Collins, members of that club almost always meet an unhappy fate.“
“Most lawmakers in a similar situation initially vowed to fight, but wound up quickly caving in to bad press and resigning. A handful managed to win re-election only to have to give up the seat later after being convicted.”
