Margaret Hunter, the wife of Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Calif.), leaves federal court in San Diego in September. (Mike Blake/Reuters)The August 2018 indictment against Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Calif.) and his wife reads like a caricature of corruption. But on Thursday, his wife, Margaret Hunter, revealed that she pleaded guilty in the case to one count of conspiring with her husband. It appears Margaret Hunter has already cooperated with the prosecution, based on my reading of the plea agreement and what I have learned from legal experts so far. How does Hunter continue to reasonably argue that he did nothing wrong now that his wife has pleaded guilty?
