Chris Collins was the first sitting congressman to endorse Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee for POTUS in 2016. Duncan Hunter Jr. was the second sitting congressman to endorse Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee for POTUS in 2016.

On September 30th of this year Collins pled guilty to two felonies--one was for insider trading....the other for lying to the FBI. Today (Dec. 3) Hunter Jr. pled guilty to one felony for misusing campaign funds. There were 60 charges so no doubt there's some kind of deal in place. I see a pattern here though---No. 1 and No. 2 endorsers of Trump will be heading off to prison soon.

^ Those were the first congressmen endorsers.

In the Senate, Sessions (R -AL) was the very first endorser.

... Well, at least Jeffie didn't go to jail - lucky for him being a god damn fool is not a crime.

Let's throw this guy onto the scum pile:

A Perennial Congressional Candidate Beloved by Trump World Was Just Arrested on Stalking Charges

(DeAnna Lorraine) Tesoriero, a self-styled MAGA relationship expert who is running a quixotic congressional run of her own against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), told The Daily Beast that she saw (Omar) Navarro skulking outside her home late at night. Tesoriero said she then received a text from an unknown number with the message, “Bitch, I came to see you.”
...
Tesoriero called the police, who arrested Navarro on three felony charges: felony stalking, criminal threats, and attempted extortion. Navarro is also facing a misdemeanor charge for allegedly violating a five-year restraining order Tesoriero received against him earlier this year after months of harassing text messages from Navarro.

In an interview, Tesoriero claimed that Navarro offered her money to marry him, threatened to leak her relatives’ addresses to left-wing antifascist “antifa” activists, and even threatened her pets.

Collins gets 26 months. Judge Vernon Broderick criticises him: 'It makes people believe the market is rigged'.

Collins who previously declared that New York congresswoman Louise Slaughter (since deceased) who filed an ethics violation against him was 'a despicable human being' apparently cried before sentencing responded to the judge...'I have no excuse. I tarnished my reputation. It's hard to look at my wife---she had her credit card cancelled. My daughter had her brokerage account cancelled'.

Gee. Really I don't know what to say---in on this insider trading scheme his first thoughts include credit card and brokerage accounts. Trump's first congressional endorser---there you go. DA wanted 5 years---only got 26 months.
