    There are a lot of things worth criticizing him for but I don’t think this is one of them. You and I would likely act the same if we had the choice of timing our resignation.

        I mean that’s fair enough. I’m sure he doesn’t need the money as badly as your average Joe

          Considering these are bribery charges and “investigators found $480,000 in cash and more than $100,000 worth of gold bars” just at his home, I think he has plenty of money.
