anything not self promotional - which serving his constituency = hard right politics. He won't resign unless he is forced to.

Heck, he won't even recuse himself (I predict he will hold to this stand despite media pressure as the result of this damaging story), from being in charge of any investigation of Russian contacts/attempts to effect the US elections. Not going to happen. At some point in the future (could be soon, could be years in the future) this will not only bury him, but will help undermine this administration. But in the near term - his lying to Congress won't hurt him (due to GOP majorities, and his arrogance.)
