Tom begs for a pardon.
The GOP is looking to amend House rules which prohibit indicted legislators from holding positions of leadership:
House Republicans adopted the indictment rule in 1993, when they were trying to end four decades of Democratic control of the House, in part by highlighting Democrats' ethical lapses. They said at the time that they held themselves to higher standards than prominent Democrats such as then-Ways and Means Chairman Dan Rostenkowski (Ill.), who eventually pleaded guilty to mail fraud and was sentenced to prison.
Hmmm. Funny how things change.
