for an interesting description of the fallout now in progress from a case of cuckolding in the U.S. Senate.
Note the Senate Ethics Committee consequences and legal consequences that may result from a Dept. of Justice investigation have resulted, and are continuing to result, not from the cuckolding of a senator's staff member by the senator and the staff member's wife per se, but rather from the subsequent attempts by the senator to "buy off" the cuckolded staff member... and keep him quiet, presumably... with money and by wielding "power and influence."
Note also the senator was warned by another staff member and his own attorney that what he was doing was blatantly illegal... but he forged ahead and did it anyway. On the whole, it seems to be a good example of a man in a high place assuming he could disregard the law and no one would make any noise about it.
