Some can’t even wait that long, like Representative Duncan Hunter of California. We are going to get back to Duncan Hunter, the Republican who just got indicted for spending more than a quarter of a million dollars in campaign funds for personal items that included airplane fare for the family rabbit. For instance, there’s the head of Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency who got his staff to help his wife when she was trying to get a Chick-fil-A franchise. Right now, polling in Duncan Hunter’s district seems to suggest he can still get re-elected this fall.
