GOP Congressman Aaron Schock has had a rough six weeks, ever since a a Washington Post reporter stumbled upon his Downton Abbey-inspired congressional office. That revelation, and that it was "free," setting off charges of ethics violations, led to the media scouring Schock's congressional, campaign, and personal financial records. What they found led to his resignation.
It seems the growing scandal has had an understandable impact of the Congressman's father. Dr. Richard Schock gave an on-camera interview to ABC7 Chicago's Ben Bradley, during which he unloaded many opinions that his son might have preferred his dad hadn't shared.
“Two years from now he’ll be successful, if he’s not in jail,” Dr. Shock told reporters. “If they’re going to convict him on paperwork, then they’re going to convict him. That’s their privilege. They’re out to get him and they’re making issues out of things that really shouldn’t be issues.”

The elder Schock also stated, "Yeah, he's broke the law," but added that most of the accusations are "lies and innuendoes." He chalked up Rep. Schock reportedly being reimbursed for 90,000 miles he did not drive as "some variances in paperwork" and that he "got a little careless."

What i find telling is""Overall, Schock’s payroll surged from $172,000 in the third quarter of 2014 to more than $300,000 in the fourth quarter, during which the House nearly shut down the government and failed to act on priorities like immigration reform. Three weeks later, Schock went on MSNBC to decry a proposed minimum wage increase as 'artificially raising the cost of labor.'"

Not at all. It's discussing a point. Come on, Joe, usually you are better at discernment than this.
