Only a Matter of Time with Rivera

I honestly don't know why a man like this chooses a career of public scrutiny.

The illustrious Rep. David Rivera, R-Miami, is under investigation almost immediately upon being sworn in. From the Palm Beach Post:

---
State authorities said Thursday they are investigating financial dealings by South Florida U.S. Rep. David Rivera, who failed to report loans from his mother's gambling-related marketing company before the election.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement Spokesman Keith Kameg said his agency is leading the investigation involving the freshman Republican congressman. Kameg said the department received a complaint from the State Attorney's Office in October related to Rivera and opened an investigation into the then-candidate. He declined to provide details or say when his agency took over the probe.

I almost think it doesn't matter if this investigation results in charges. The next one will. Whether it is failing to report all of his offshore income properly, letting properties unnecessarily slip into foreclosure, running vehicles full of opposition campaign material off the highway, or simply hitting women.

I remain amazed that Rivera coasted to the House this year, but things like happen in a wave election. As much as I'd like the chance for us to defeat him at the ballot box in two years, I think the authorities will remove him first.
