The former staffer later died by suicide.

She self-immolated, I believe. What a horrible way to go.

Is there going to be a cleansing of Congress?

" allegations he had an affair with a senior staffer who later died by suicide."
-Ewww! how senior?

"Pressed by CNN ahead of the primary, Gonzales would not say whether he had an affair with the staffer nor whether he sent sexually explicit text messages that appeared to show him pressuring the woman to share images of herself. "
-So, nothing? No crusty blue dress? No "died at the age of 36 of a barbiturate overdose at her Los Angeles home. Her death was ruled a probable suicide."?

"Santos-Aviles, a former staffer in Gonzales' district office in Uvalde, Texas, died in September, according to CNN affiliate KENS. The county medical examiner ruled that she died of self-immolation and listed her manner of death as suicide. "

-This whole thing is sounding very car tell. How far away was the head? Vape sploded?
