Peter Mandelson (UK, Labour) has Resigned -- Which US Politicians Should Also Resign?

[GreatGazoo]

The UK is actively pursuing leads from the Epstein files.

The Metropolitan Police has launched a criminal investigation into Lord Mandelson following claims he passed market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein. It comes after the Cabinet Office referred material to police after reviewing Epstein file documents that suggest he forwarded internal government information to Epstein when he was business secretary in 2009.

1. I remember a time when American politicians resigned

over the vaguest, unsubstantiated "vile rumors". Not anymore. They are so in-your-face unrepentant these days.

2. Why did he think this would never come out?

The rich and powerful operate like criminals who never think they’ll get caught. They only resign when there is no choice.

4. Yes, they become so full of themselves

they start to believe they can get away with anything. This is especially true of Trump who actually has gotten away with pretty much everything.

Accountability needs to start young; children as a rule aren't going to teach themselves to be responsible.

5. There don't seem to be any standards

anymore for politicians, at least not on the republican side. Unfortunately, Democrats are expected to meet much higher standards and even that often isn't good enough.

How about every one of them with an "R" after their name?

Ain't gonna happen, though.
