That’s the thing: McCain never should’ve been in a position to get shot down in Vietnam in the first place. He flew recklessly and crashed several planes domestically. He only kept his wings because his family had a lot of say in the military.

It’s not an uncommon phenomenon in politics. One big event or personal story point somehow overshadows every horribly thing in their history.
John McCain coasted on nepotism and his POW status despite some nasty shit in his personal life and flight conduct that would’ve gotten any normal pilot grounded.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan let Bush Jr skate by numerous administrative problems at the time, and after the propaganda surrounding the wars fell apart he’d already won re-election.

It’s intriguing, but doesn’t that necessitate a 2nd Wild Card round of sorts? They’d either lose the extra week off before the Super Bowl or have to find some other way to massage the schedule.

Both already pled guilty to several counts and are cooperating in the investigation. For cases like this I imagine their passports have been suspended/flagged so they can’t travel internationally.
