I think what is causing the Trouble for him is 2 fold number one he was the alleged "Corruption Crusader" who is now identfied for doing what he was fighting
and he is a high profile person, a Politicain, a governor and what some are now asking is did he use his own money or office money?? if he used office money that is a felony, if he use his own money is could be a different scenrierio, thefact that he is married with 3 daughters to me is a non issue, he simply got cuaght with his hands in the "cookie jar" and now has to pay the price
you can steal if you want, but be prepared to pay he price if you get caught stealing
but like Dr Phil said at 1 time "you are not sorry that you cheated, you are sorry you got caught doing it"
