The Aaron Schock legal drama rages on, and on.
A federal judge has just ordered the files surrounding the totally-not-gay, 100 percent hetero ex-congressman’s current legal battle with the House of Representatives and federal prosecutors shall remain sealed… for now.

U.S. District Court Judge Sue Myerscough announced that, despite countless requests from media outlets, she will not make the records surrounding Schock’s case public after objections from his legal team, who argued “certain untoward and unsubstantiated allegations of Mr. Schock’s conduct and character within these documents that would be highly prejudicial to Mr. Schock if unsealed.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Untoward” allegations about Mr. Schock’s conduct and character?! Now we really want to know what’s in these files.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait because Judge Myerscough agreed with Schock’s legal team.

“[R]ecords, orders, and subpoenas relating to grand jury proceedings must be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a matter occurring before a grand jury,'” Myerscough wrote to POLITICO. “The Court finds the documents filed since February 2016 must remain under seal at this time.”
In other words, the files will remain private… for now. But once this whole grand jury thing wraps up, we can expect to get all the dirt. Every last “untoward” detail.
A grand jury in the case has been meeting for about a year now, though no charges have been publicly filed against the 34-year-old flaming heterosexual, and it is unclear what charges he could be facing. So far, Schock has already spent over a million dollars in legal expenses. He also owes $750,000 to his previous attorneys and he has $750,000 in campaign debt.
And so the saga continues…

Oh dear, untoward behavior! Get me to the fainting couch.

@DCguy: Donald Dump did too. So funny seeing these guys ride high for a while, then completely implode. The GOP is imploding with its least popular front runner in over fifty years.
I am so tired of these republicans telling others what they should, while doing the other behind closed doors.
George Carlin once said (paraphrased)… Religious people often ask what would Jesus do? They want to know so they don’t have to do it, but rather tell others to do it.

Untoward? Is that what they’re calling gay nowadays?

Whenever I hear some bigmouth in Washington or the Christian heartland banging on about the evils of sodomy or whatever, I mentally enter his name in my notebook and contentedly set my watch. Sooner rather than later, he will be discovered down on his weary and well-worn old knees in some dreary motel or latrine, with an expired Visa card, having tried to pay well over the odds to be peed upon by some Apache transvestite.â?

Untoward.
It sounds so……..seedy. I’m wondering what could be more seedy than stealing millions of dollars from the people of your district and spending them on yourself.

@DCguy: Yeah it sounds like this may be a lot worse than him simply being gay. Maybe he used taxpayer money to build a BDSM dungeon or something! (Not that theres anything wrong with BDSM dungeon’s, this guy is just a hypocrite thief)

His record should be open for his voters to see.
redzebra1
@Steve EQ William: Without being convicted of anything? That’s absurd
GC1985
@redzebra1: Oh that could change real soon.
But yes as he was a public official, the record should be unsealed and totally public.

LOL! Had they come out and said “Yes, all the rumors are true” it wouldn’t have been as damning as this judge’s decision.
