From Crooks and Liars<\/a>: <\/span>Duncan Hunter, Republican Representative and convicted criminal<\/a> announced late on Friday that he will be resigning “shortly after the holidays.” Just a few days ago, Hunter pleaded guilty to a sole charge of misusing campaign funds, although he actually faced a shocking 60 counts! Sounds like he got a sweet plea deal.<\/p>\n

San Diego 10 News reports<\/a> that Hunter put out the following statement late on Friday:<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly after the Holidays I will resign from Congress. It has been an honor to serve the people of California\u2019s 50th District, and I greatly appreciate the trust they have put in me over these last 11 years.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hunter faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although chances are he will see under a year in detention, if he is actually locked up at all. Based on the sentencing guidelines for a first time offender, the judge could just give him house arrest and a fine. He is set to be sentenced on March 17th. His wife also pleaded guilty earlier this year. Her sentencing isn’t scheduled until April.<\/p>\n

It’s time to charge Hunter for his own role in the Republican sedition. RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/span><\/p>\n
