Duncan Hunter Chris Collins under indictments.

Two House Republicans under federal indictments are heading back to Congress. Voters in California and New York are sending Reps. Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins back to Capitol Hill even as they face federal charges.

Hunter and his wife, Margaret, were indicted by a federal grand jury in late August for allegedly using $250,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses and covering their tracks in campaign finance filings to the Federal Election Commission. The couple is facing 60 federal charges.

A federal judge in San Diego pushed the start of the Hunter trial until after the midterm contest by setting a status conference for Dec. 3. U.S. District Judge Thomas Whelan has not yet set a trial date.

So just hold your horses.



There are some 18,000 UNCOUNTED votes that he seems to have forgotten about.!
But you bet your ass Nate McMurray didn't forget about them.

We ain't finished 'fighting like hell' for a long shot.
