The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Recent history has confirmed politicians have multiple options for using remaining campaign / PAC money still left when they leave office

You betcha, and if you're a member of the Orange Jesus cult, you can count on ol' Trumpski pardoning your ass after you've been convicted of stealing that money.

Duncan Hunter was " a corrupt congressman who intentionally and repeatedly stole from his campaign funds for a decade.
Hunter and his wife faced a 60-count indictment of stealing more than $250,000 in campaign contributions and trying to hide it on financial disclosure records, listing some personal expenses as contributions to wounded warriors. Each had faced up to five years in prison.

Each pleaded guilty to a single count in separate plea agreements last year.

The funds bankrolled private school tuition for his children, his wife's shopping sprees, weekend trips with his mistress and drinking parties in Washington."

Hunter asked the court Tuesday to spare the mother of his three children jail time, and said he takes full responsibility. He showed little emotion."

Hunter's wife rolled on him for a deal.
