The SEC Mulls An Investigation Calls Grow For John Boehner To Resign

It is an ethics violation for elected officials to use their political office to perform official acts on behalf of special interests, and particularly when special interests are campaign donors. There is also a serious problem when a sitting congressional representative performs official acts for personal financial profit by promoting a project the representative has a financial stake in. The problem becomes egregious when the elected official lies about a project to profit himself and campaign donors and our current Speaker of the House has taken those issues a step farther. On Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) received a complaint from an environmental group with accusations that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline’s owners (TransCanada) are in violation of SEC Rule 10b(5) – Employment of Manipulative and Deceptive Practices to bolster stock prices.

The complaint sent to the SEC said TransCanada is using “false or misleading statements about the proposed Keystone XL pipeline” and that they “consistently used public statements and information it knows are false in a concerted effort to secure permitting approval of Keystone XL from the U.S. government.” The complaint continues that the fallacious information misleads investors, U.S. and Canadian officials, the media, and the public “in order to bolster its balance sheets and share price,” and who is the point-man pushing the Keystone XL pipeline with lies and misinformation? Speaker of the House John Boehner.

Well. This could go badly. Or not at all. It depends on the SEC's decision.
 
I'm no fan of Boehner (R) but I prefer him to the teavangelist hordes. However, if he broke the rules he needs to go
I'm convinced Boner was put there to put a lid on the TEA Party. If the charges are true and he's forced out, then I won't be sorry to see him leave.

Does this mean the Republicans would give us Cantor?

Probably.

My thing is - politics is so corrupt these days. How did he get singled out?

He would be worse, no doubt.
 
While we weren't looking the democrat dirty tricks people were preparing a hundred charges against the republican speaker for ethics violations that will keep him busy for the next couple of months. It's an old strategy that democrats have perfected.

Really? I don't think they could do that if his hands were clean.
 
If they're going after Boehner for this, they may as well go after all the CongressCritters
 
A... January 28, 2012 (new??)
B... I see lots of OPINION about Boehner actions, but no charges, investigations into him, etc.
C... A blog? Really? That's your source? A blog? A self described liberal blog, at that.

Yawn.

Here's the way it works. The thoroughly corrupt administration throws out some ethics charges against the Speaker and the liberal media gets a chance to attack republicans for a change instead of defending the mess that Barry Hussein made. Meanwhile the Attorney General gets a pass for his obstruction of the investigation into charges of felony murder for supplying the weapon that killed a Border Patrol Agent and unemployment and high gas prices are put aside.

Unfortunately, this article is over 90 days old, and none of what you've foretold actually came to pass.
 
And how funny this is the first I have heard about this..

It must be HUGE
