so when he came up from peor ia to congress. the beltway press loves to do stories about the workout routines of members of congress. this bipartisan story about members of congress working out appeared last summer filed under fashion. here he is enjoying his bipartisan workout. these two members of congress very attractive, very young, a bipartisan duo in the gym. the new generation in congress. right now in the background of this photo see the guy in the red t-shirt? that is congressman kevin mccarthy. he was supposed to be the young
this congress. there is questions that need to be asked if not answered. first, was it shot down? if it was, do we expect them to shoot down more u.s. drones. how dangerous is it for the u.s. for it s drones to be shot down and recovered by the syrian government, or conceivably by isis or mill assistant groups. when they get one of our drones, what do they get that could help or hurt our military? and it is one thing to lose a drone, it is another thing to lose a pilot, or a pilot and a crew. does losing this drone today n syria inform the question of how much risk our pilots are at as we head into the eighth month of this undeclared air war including more than 2700 bombing missions already. joining me now is colonel jack
aaron schock who won a seat when he was just 23 years old. the state never had a younger lawmaker than aaron schock. he was aggressive, attractive, and did i mention young. at the time he was readying his run, republicans in congress at the time were trying to remake themselves in the image of a youthful party. they launched a republican young guns campaign in 2007 aaron schock was a much younger gun. reelected at only 27 to congress. in 2008 republicans got beaten badly. they lost ground in the senate and house. in 2008 republicans in congress got from illinois this new boy
feathers. when they realized they had a reporter taking a tour and snapping pictures about the office, they asked the reporter to delete the photos from their phone. the scale of the design, asking the reporter to get rid of the pictures. then the congressman got in real trouble as they tried to make this not such a big deal. the congressman s staff said the designer offered her services for free. she volunteered her time. that detail, that explanation that the work had been donated to aaron schock, that is a gift then, right? a donation. that led to allegations that he was violating the rules about accepting gifts as a member of congress. that little beltway style report about congressman aaron schock office was a human interest thing.
he had serious legal problems that he hopes to down play by quitting and playing back some of the money as certain things become apparent. and i think he is losing support locally, almost every local newspaper and columnist was writing scathing editorials about him. the life he loving in congress was over. and i would not under estimate that either. i would emphasize that even though he can leave congress and end the investigations from the office of ethics, this does not automatically erase anything the justice department might feel like doing or a lesser regulatory agency. is there any indication that the doj has started any sort of investigation into him? would we know if they have. nothing serious in the case
