 So one now has to wonder what the senator's posture is now that he has been found guilty. And yes, he did defend himself again before the press as he exited court, saying that he intends to fight this, he intends to appeal. But again, hard to see how he can continue in his capacity as a U.S. senator with all of his colleagues, not all, but certainly many coming out in this short span of time, suggesting that he step down.
