Email smear campaign accuses politician of gay sex affair

To me this is a lose-your-job impeachment offense.
It's one thing to deny and lie.
If these two are having an affair, their denial is basically calling the "cop" a liar. They are trying to discredit someone with no stake in the game. If the "cops" claims are true these two should stripped naked and run out of town.
And while I suspect they are probably having an affair - and I suspect additional details of other meeting will come out - if the "cop" is lying he should be canned. No questions asked.

 

He was literally caught with his pants down. Nice.

 

... and her husband's a pastor. And both have railed about the sanctity of marriage, of course.

Mack also claims the info from the report was "obtained illegally" by the Pioneer Press, but the paper merely got it from the computerized court document system that's available to anyone in the public.

Classic.

 

Back to the Michigan lawmakers .... They gone.
He resigns - at 3:12 a.m., the She is expelled by fellow lawmakers - an hour later - on a 91-12 vote.

One Michigan lawmaker resigns, second expelled over love affair, botched cover-up

 

"Whether it was the third vote or the fourth vote or the fifth vote, they were going to eventually get me," he said according to the Associated Press.

Right, because it was a witch hunt, not because you acted improperly.

But during an earlier speech requesting censure, Gamrat had said: "I firmly believe in restoration and redemption. I have done everything I can to redeem this situation, and I'm sincerely sorry for what this has caused. I still believe my actions warrant censure, but not expulsion."

Translation: My actions don't warrant expulsion because I'm a white conservative women. If it was one of them thare black folk, who cares?! They're corrupt, anyway.

 

Too bad they're being allowed to slink away by Michigan's teabag puppet legislature. It would have been fun to see them twist in the wind a while longer and be held up as punching bags for public ridicule.
Obviously it was decided in the offices of ALEC where this crew gets its marching orders, that they had to wash this mess out of their hair.

 

Gamrat filed to run in the special election to fill her former seat.

Guess who else wants to get the band back together?

Todd Courser announces he'll run for old seat

 

Hopefully full prosecution on embezzlement charges is on the front burner for both these idiots.

Hopefully also the legislature announces plans that should either or both "win" their reelection bids, they will be re-expelled by unanimous voice vote the moment they are sworn in.

 

Gamrat was expelled for the duration of this term. The legislature says it won't reseat her.

What would worry me is that both of these primary fields are crowded. The vote is going to be split a ton of ways, which could open the door for these clowns to return to Lansing.
