The allegations against Jim Jordan keep getting even uglier. It's shocking that he hasn't resigned by now and disappeared. The longer he insists on remaining in the public view, the likelier it is that the next administration might bring federal criminal charges against him.
It's tricky to get criminal charges to stick against someone who wasn't participating in the crime, and merely allowed the criminal behavior to continue by covering it up. Until today, I wouldn't have thought charges could stick against Jordan – but this is getting UGLY for him.
I do wonder if Jordan is sticking around because he's hoping Trump will pardon him on his way out the door. But in such case, Jordan's career would be over anyway. Even a House Republican wouldn't survive accepting a pardon for something that hideous. Maybe Jordan is just dumb.
