This has been a really bad week for Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock (R-18th). And sadly, it’s about to get a lot worse.

Schock landed in a bit of hot water by purportedly redecorating his taxpayer-funded office with campaign funds, the result being some sort of Downton Abbey wannabe. Needless to say, he failed miserably in what seems to be a long line of excessive spending sprees on ornate offices.

And then the whole episode brought far more scrutiny to his social media feeds and gift disclosures which document his lavish globetrotting, often paid for by special interests, that’s carried him to five star resorts and beachside escapes in dozens of cities on five continents, all of it meticulously documented on his ill-advised Instagram feed.

And as if that weren’t enough to send him over the edge, he then had to deal with a “Human Resources” debacle aka his Communications Director Benjamin Cole, who referred to African-Americans as zoo animals and suggested President Obama install a mosque at the White House. Needless to say, Cole no longer works for Schock.

Then Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint against Schock and my colleagues in the media went into a frenzy.

Now there’s this: the month before the 2012 elections, Congressman Schock sold his house to a major Republican donor who was also one of his campaign supporters for a price that appears to far exceed the market value at the time. Memories of disgraced former GOP Congressman Duke Cunningham (CA) came flooding back into my head as I worked through the documents.

  1. Why doesn’t he just come out of the closet already? Everybody in the 18th knows that he’s gay.

    Also I don’t have a problem with him being gay either.
