And it'll get even longer if the sex misconduct accusations continue into 2018

Quite a bit longer if the congressional hush money slush fund is made public. Congress would become depopulated, I think.

Gruesome list.

And by the way, this guy is running again in NY and has already been publicly endorsed by Steve Bannon.

Rep. Michael Grimm [R-NY11, 2013-2014]

In 2014 Grimm pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws by soliciting and accepting prohibited campaign contributions, causing false information to be included in campaign finance reports, and improperly seeking assistance from a foreign national in soliciting campaign contributions in exchange for offering to use his official position to assist that individual in obtaining a green card. This plea came three years after the Office of Congressional Ethics began an investigation of the allegations. Grimm resigned in January 2015 and served seven months in prison.

Agreed. Why the hell should we pay for the consequences of their "extracurricular activities"/misdeeds?

What the hell? I truly think that if you serve your time you should get all your rights back but when your crime is abusing your position... the very least should have you banned from going into such positions one would think.
 
If we only knew.... probably 90% of our Congresscritters are guilty of things that ought to bar them from office...

One would think, but this is Steve Bannon we're talking about. He seems to enjoy the concept of pushing felons and perverts on us.
