That would turn ALL politicians into ducks in a shooting gallery.

Ok. Your point being? Most of the ducks will be Left or perceived Left leaners. I'm sure you know the players here.

Yes. At least here, there is back-up plan so to speak

Not lawyer here. If he gets off the charges at the federal level can he still be tried for the exact same crime/s at state level? My understanding is, double jeopardy usually applies only per jurisdiction but there's always the fine print, exceptions, etc
