NH-1: FEC fines Guinta for illegal loan from parents (Resign Watch Thread)

[Torie]

Quinta won't be running for reelection. He's done.

Guinta was civilly fined, and not facing a criminal charge, so I tend to doubt that he will resign, and he need not resign. But he needs to announce he will not run for re-election. His running again, if only to lose the primary, would further help the Dems in a seat they probably have about a 60% chance of winning anyway, all things being equal. I had this seat as one that I expected the Pubs to lose all things being equal, and now it's moving close to the top, right up there next to NV-04.

Guinta does not need to resign since he's not being prosecuted, so since he does not give a damn about anybody but himself, why should he not just hang around and collect his pay check for another 20 months?
