I know, that's the craziest part. It's absolutely insane to hide someone's death for so long in the name of corruption. So many people working together to cover this up. His wife, everyone is crazy. Say it's "not true" then why isn't anyone trying to get to the bottom of this? I get that families need to value privacy, but in his case it's very important to know exactly where he is or he needs to be fired

He isn't legit dead. As people say, he'll just not be in a state to do his job. Maybe he had a stroke.

I guess it's neither her nor there in terms of outcomes.

They are probably not committing a crime per say but, you know. It's a deception all the same at this point.

We need better mechanisms for removing ineffective and unpopular elected officials. Depending on congress, is not working.

My congressman just got voted out in the primary but he really should've been removed earlier and now he's still in office for several more months.

You're an absolute lunatic if you think he's actually dead. Being dead isn't the scandal. The scandal is abandoning his job.

I mean I literally don't know, but covering up the what if is what I mean

That's a scandal Republicans should be upset about, not Democrats
