Just after Indiana Republican county commissioner John Jessup won the election, he pleaded guilty in a Nevada sexual assault case. And now, he will be forced to resign without serving in his elected role. He should have run for President so that he would have immunity just like that other criminal who shall not be named.
The Guardian reports:
John Jessup, commissioner of Hancock, Indiana, is at the center of one of the more bizarre tales to emerge from the down-ballot 5 November elections across the US.
As noted by the local Greenfield Daily Reporter newspaper and KLAS, authorities in Nevada charged Jessup, 49, in June in connection with a sexual assault that occurred in January. But he remained in office as a county commissioner; ran for a seat on the Hancock council, which is a distinct elected body; and emerged as one of three victors after collecting about 15,000 votes.
