[quote=Anonymous]Not really surprising he's not stepping down. He almost certainly won't get convicted. SCOTUS has made it virtually impossible to prove public corruption. Unless he's on tape saying: "Yes, I will do this official act in exchange for these gold bars," the government is going to lose. It's not even clear that the "official acts" they are alleging will qualify under the McDonnell test. Most of the official acts alleged are things like talking to prosecutors to get them to drop cases, and talking to the State Dept to get them to fund a dam. In McDonnell, SCOTUS said that talking to other officials and setting up meetings aren't official acts. Very good chance this indictment is dismissed. [/quote]
