When Hunter Senior was caught cheating on his property taxes about 10 years ago, he initially denied or belittled the reports, but eventually did the honorable thing and pursued a settlement with San Diego County. Junior should follow Daddy's example and resign.

The good stuff starts on page 11. For example, Junior used his campaign credit card to pay for a ski trip to Reno/Lake Tahoe at a time when his checking account was overdrawn and he had less than $20 in his savings account.
And I want to know more about the identity of Individual 14, who seems to be playing the role of a romantic date in many of the "overt acts" cited in the indictment, including the ski trip mentioned above. I wonder if co-conspirator Mrs. Junior knew about that relationship at the time.
After serious questions first arose about his use of campaign funds for video games, private school tuition, dental surgery and a garage door in early 2016, Hunter initially depicted this spending as a result of mistaken purchases by his young son or sloppy campaign paperwork. But the indictment demolishes that craven lie. It shows that in the first few months of 2010, his campaign treasurer had already warned him about his wife’s improper use of a campaign credit card and suggested it be taken away — something Hunter declined.
The indictment shows both Hunters repeatedly tried to create cover stories that they could use to justify their expenses as somehow related to campaigning. Hunter tried to set up a visit to a U.S. Navy base in Italy in 2015 so he could just claim an official dimension to his family vacation. When Navy officials couldn’t accommodate his preferred date for a tour, Hunter told an aide, “Tell the Navy to go f*** themselves.” That same year, Hunter’s wife told him to buy shorts for a trip to Hawaii at a golf shop so they could claim the expense was actually “[golf] balls for Wounded Warriors.” This is despicable.
