Things are looking worse and worse for totally-not-gay-100-percent-heterosexual Aaron Schock. The probe into the former GOP golden boy’s questionable spending habits appears to be getting deeper and dirtier by the day.
In the latest development, four congressional financial staffers were just subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury in central Illinois. It is believed they are being called to testify in the ongoing investigation against Schock, who has been accused of misusing taxpayer money and campaign donations to fund his lavish lifestyle.

Traci Beaubian, who serves as chief financial officer of the House of Representatives, along with Andrew Todd Caulk, a supervisor in financial counseling, Norman Gugliotta, a financial counselor, and John Nadeau, the director of financial counseling, were all called to testify before the grand jury on Monday afternoon.

Since resigning from office in March 2015, Shock himself has been served with at least two grand jury subpoenas demanding he hand over campaign and congressional records. FBI agents also have confiscated boxes of records and other items from his central Illinois campaign office.

Last month, Shock’s legal team said he is committed to fighting the allegations against him to the bitter end.
“Mr. Schock has already paid a heavy price by leaving office for the good of the constituents he served,” his spokesperson said. “We are putting our trust in the sound exercise of judgment by prosecuting authorities–but if necessary, we will mount a rigorous case to vindicate Mr. Schock’s position in a court of law.”
So far, Schock has already paid millions in legal expenses, and is expected to owe millions more when everything is said and done. He is also swimming in a sea of debt, owing $750,000 to his previous attorneys and an additional $750,000 in campaign debt.

Still the 2nd sexiest politician ever (only 2nd to Martin O’Malley).

Oh, he’s getting probed in the good way, too lol
He ain’t the 5th sexiest politician ever… or the 20th, or the 30th. Maybe the 63rd

He is in debt $1.5 Million? For that much money, he could certainly have his own mansion and live just they did on Downton Abbey. Or he could have a pied a terre in Argentina to visit yearly.
HIs real mistake was not going to the GOP establishment and asking them how he can legally milk the system or at least not get caught. I’m sure they have a secret book about it.

@Masc Pride: does your job offer vision insurance? You might need to pick up a pair of prescription lenses.

What I don’t understand is why didn’t he just follow Paul Ryan’s example and marry a multimillionaire heiress who could have funded his lavish interests and served as a perfect beard? (Not saying Ryan is gay.)
Or just come out and get a wealthy, super-rich husband…oh wait, he voted against same-sex marriage and gay equality, so I guess it’d have to be the DL route.

@Masc Pride: O´Malley is mine…I saw him first

I’m just waiting till they find the receipts for his visits to the bathhouse in Chicago.

There’s plenty of Republican close cases. Schock must be feeling so bitter by now. In a sense I feel sorry until I realize how f*ckt up those closet cases are for hurting us.

The issue is, most of the theft and fraud he did would have been legal if he did it slightly differently. The House leadership makes them practically untouchable, the fact that this guy crossed a line is surprising since the House has exempted themselves from so many other laws.

Why do these guys resign when caught? Grow some cajones, and come out with style, then stay in office and do the job you were elected to do!

What’s it mean when Aaron Schock has a runny nose? HE’S FULL!
Looks like he’ll have to take that $1 million porn offer just to settle most (not all) of his bills.
