1. And he will be EFFING reelected in his district!!

Unless that guilty plea comes with a few years behind bars. That MIGHT cause him to lose his job. Please?

4. Part of the Plea Agreement might be dropping out...

There's an open field for this seat among Republicans (including Darrell Issa)

[leftieNanner]

5. I will look forward to reading more about this

And Darrell Issa???? Please no. Just NO.

8. Now there's a step in the wrong direction...

14. Carpet bagger, Darrell Issa, already tossed his hat in the ring

Darrel Issa and Duncan Hunter were splitting the vote, and with California's pesky open 'top two advance' primary, they would probably have placed second and third, behind Ammar Campa-Najjar (D).

But Issa does still have some competition, although I suspect they are not significant players:

Primary candidates

Duncan Hunter (R) (Incumbent)
Ammar Campa-Najjar (D)
Carl DeMaio (R)
Darrell Issa (R)
Brian Jones (R)
David Edick (Independent)
Helen Horvath (Independent)

Here's Ammar Campa-Najjar's website: https://www.campacampaign.com/

15. Issa is actually a carpetbagger!

He doesn't even live in the district, does he? I guess he is wealthy enough that he can buy a condo there and say that he's local.

I need to send some $$ to Campa-Najjar.

9. He's also ending his reelection bid.

11. Excellent News!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could replace him with a nice new blue DEM!!

[BigmanPigman]

16. That means Issa will go for it. Looks like Indivisible will.

have to stage its weekly protests at his office again. That is one reason he lost his area's support.

17. I wonder if he'll make any rooftop appearances

Darrell Issa says he was simply taking pictures, but his political opponent says he was avoiding constituents. You decide.

2. One down. Hundreds more to go.

3. Lock him up. n/t

[Roland99]

6. Oh...simple mistake...trump and rudy were after the wrong Hunter!!

[gratuitous]

7. But Duncan is just so totally innocent!

I guess he wasn't "excited" about going to trial after all:

10. He wasn't excited when his discovered his campaign contributions totally dried up

He can't afford to go to trial.

12. Those lawyers do cost money!

And it's not $19.95 per hour either.

And you don't even get a set of Ginsu knives in the bargain.

13. How is this MFer still in congress but Katie Hill isn't?

She should never have resigned.
