All 20 received, or are still receiving, congressional retirement benefits.
Or do they just get an early pension?
I think they all have a get out of jail free card and a guaranteed pension plan as a prerequisite to taking office. Pretty good deal really if you ask me and even if you don't.

"the brits should have started a war to get the guy back" lol i heard someone say that in a interview about about this on the bbc.
i don't really break the law, but i think the US system is a joke. if u murder someone i think death sentence. why do we let people like charlie manson sit there and preach in prison about craziness, is beyond me. after his conviction they should have walked him out of that court house and put 2 bullets to the back of his head and been done with him.
