Thank you, Mr. Suozzi, for your statement.However, I believe that in our current environment where telling the truth is ofttimes considered a tactical or strategic mistake, he could easily escape any consequences if he is not charged, tried and convicted of a serious breach of ethics and law, in court. Without that, he will settle into the new House majority where the truth is not always necessary and acceptable as long as you get what you want.  The simple fact that so few Republicans in Congress have made known that they consider his malfeasance unacceptable tells me that he will thrive there.As a retired high school Social Sciences teacher (History/Gov/Econ), I believe many students will see here that it has become acceptable and normal to see politicians as outright liars.  And that works to destroy their belief in our system of government.  Why be honest if you can lie and still get that job that pays $174,000 per year with lots of benefits, and where you have access to hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from businesses and the actually wealthy to use for your personal benefit?I wonder what plum committee assignments he will get from Kevin McCarthy for supporting McCarthy in his quest for Speaker.
