SHAME! SHAME!… OK DEM’s get busted as well on Ethics violation, but seriously the charge against Rep. Lujan is pretty sad “Oh no you used pics from inside the House for fundraising.” But yeah the charge against Conyers for paying a staffer months after retirement is hefty – PB/TK
House Ethics Committee is reviewing allegations against three Democrats – By Mike Debonis / June 26 2017
The House Ethics Committee said Monday it is reviewing charges lodged against two high-profile Democratic lawmakers and a senior Democratic aide.
The lawmakers facing an ethics review are Rep. John Conyers Jr. (Mich), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee and the longest-serving sitting House member, and Rep. Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The staffer is Michael E. Collins, chief of staff to Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).
StatementsreleasedMonday by the Ethics Committee did not detail the allegations against the three men, which were forwarded to the committee by the independent Office of Congressional Ethics based on a “substantial reason to believe” a violation has occurred.
