From the BBC

Brazil's suspended lower house Speaker Eduardo Cunha has been dealt a major blow after a committee voted in favour of stripping him of his seat.

Mr Cunha is widely regarded as the architect of the impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff.

He has been accused of lying about undeclared Swiss bank accounts but strongly denies any wrongdoing.

So, basically, Cunha cried (boo hoo) because he had to give up his Speaker seat, but he's still got his representative seat, right? I want to see him lose his representative seat AND turn over the millions he stole from the Brazilian people. Fat chance that'll happen.   :|
