Every occasion is a campaign opportunity for a politician.

I think he's resigning while he still has the chance to fleece the government for his Russian medical treatments.

As a deputy President isn't he going to get his salary and all the benefits that comes with it forever? So him resigning or staying shouldn't make any difference as far as that is concerned.
