Editorial: Rep. Hunter should accept responsibility and resign, then plan to rebuild his life

Hunter’s descent into a caricature of corruption doesn’t have to be his last act.
A 47-page indictment released last August by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego laid out how Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, and wife Margaret had spent more than $250,000 in campaign donations from 2010 to 2017 for their personal benefit and the benefit of their family. The 60-count indictment quoted messages in which the couple discussed strategies to create cover stories to justify the expenses — and the congressman reacting profanely when the U.S. Navy wouldn’t set up a visit to a base in Italy so he could rationalize what turned out to be a $14,261 family vacation there in 2015. It also showed Hunter had been warned that such spending was illegal by his campaign treasurer in 2010.
The case that prosecutors presented was thoroughly documented and utterly outrageous. But instead of doing what would be expected of a former Marine — own up to his mistakes, resign, accept the consequences and plan how to rebuild his life — Hunter has instead chosen delusion and denial. He has depicted himself as the victim of a nefarious conspiracy involving the media and a Democratic cabal in the Trump administration. He has also suggested that many of the charges were run up by his wife while he was serving in Washington. These are not the actions of an honorable man

to his campaign account, which he won't be able to blame his wife for.
That no doubt made it easier for her to decide to turn state's evidence and rat out the rat who'd been cheating on her.
She also probably had their three children in mind, wanting to make sure that she could be there to raise them, with at worst a short stint in prison and quite possibly only probation for cooperating with the feds.
He's truly scum for cheating on her (among many other reasons). Here is a photo of them taken in happier days, just 5 years ago. She looks like she's aged 20 years in her more recent photos.
