GOP Congress votes to make it easier to escape ethics violations

Unreal they will now police themselves and we all know how unethical they are. Say goodbye to the Republican party in 2018.

The independent Office of Congressional Ethics, launched in 2008 to address concerns that the lawmaker-run House Ethics Committee failed to adequately police members of Congress, now would be subject to oversight by the House Ethics Committee, under the proposed rules package adopted by Republican lawmakers. The new rules also would bar investigators from reviewing anonymous complaints against lawmakers.
 
I am glad the Left is finally paying attention to ethics, now that an R is elected POTUS.

Too bad they ignored ethics, morality, truth, honesty, transparency, rule of law, illegalities, the Constitution, warmongering, divisiveness, hatefulness, deceitfulness, lying, corruption, cronyism, wastefulness, ......................for the last eight years.

Must they always prove themselves hypocrites over and over again?

Really? Probably the most scandal free eight years of any Presidency. But now that Putin's wife will soon be in the Oval office....well...hold onto your hat. He is draining the swamp by feeding us to the crocodiles...

The Obama's had class in the WH. Trump will show us what classless means/

No , it was the Pubs who gutted the independent ethics committee, its like sending your tax returns to yourself, gives them a license to do whatever, since well they are in charge.

Say goodbye, fading fading, gone in 2018.

Bush's crimes have become Obama's crimes, and now, they are at the foot of Trump. You guys did nothing.

The Obama administration should rethink its outrageous proposal that would allow the government to lie to citizens about whether documents exist.

Someone in Obama's very own administration violated that law, and it was utterly ignored, nothing was done, and he continued on.

Partisans only care about the nation and ethics when power and politics are at stake. Any other time? They really don't give a fuck. Generally partisans are amoral pieces of shit that can't see the truth if it was smashed into their face.
 
At least the 3rd thread on this non-story.

Any effective "ethics office" would have been working double shifts over the last eight years.

No, any "effective" ethics office would have had their HR department working double shifts replacing the staff that mysteriously disappeared, resigned, left the country or expired courtesy of HRC's goon squad. :rofl:
 
It looks worse than it actually is, most likely. However, it is pretty damned suspect that the Republicans got behind closed doors on a holiday and pulled this together. What do they think they're up to?

You want to compare, even their New Years messages? Stump can't help but be a jerk in everything he does.

Their idea of "draining the swamp' is to allow the repubs do get away with whatever they want to do. They will pay!

Supporting ISIS, among other things, hardly renders one "scandal-free".

If you believe it's wrong for Obama's government, why is it alright for Trump's government to get away with it? Of course, there doesn't HAVE to be an independent Ethics Commission in order to unearth scandal and wrong doing. However, it smells to the high heaven and justifying it by pointing to what you perceive as wrong doing in the last administration doesn't fly. The election is over. The votes are cast. Now come up with some GOOD reasons for what the Republicans are doing by gutting the Ethics Commission.

1) Trump as yet has no government.

2) Please illustrate where in Trump's Not-Yet-Government one can find support for ISIS.

No worries, nobody votes Republican anymore. Only a Dim thinks it's necessary to have a government agency for morals. LOL.
 
They were the reason that office was created. No wonder they want to get rid of it.
