GOP's first act will be to roll back Independent Ethics Office

House GOP votes to gut independent ethics panel

Remember Foley? At the time, there were a whole bunch of ethics scandals involving the Republicans. That was why this office was started.

Now Republicans are getting rid of it. Too limiting.

See what I mean? It's only the very beginning.

The office was originally created because of the GOP's lack of ethics.

If it was in fact independent, it would have been working overtime over the last eight years.

Republicans just assume because they are dirty, Obama must be dirty too.

No it doesn't. Clinton's scandal was getting a BJ from a 24 year old consenting adult. Carter's was American hostages overseas.

Reagan's was Iran Contra and all those soldiers murdered in the Middle East among others.

Bush Jr.'s was, OMG, the list is endless.

Obama doesn't really have any. Just GOP conspiracies. Trump is filled with scandals and he hasn't even been sworn in. And the GOP has been salivating to get rid of this office for years.

They are who they are.

All can say is that your reputation for being one of the forum's leading partisan dopes is well earned.

You still reading that Commie rag, rdean?

I read it too. It's funny.

The Hussein administration used the IRS to punish political enemies and the president invoked "executive privilege to prevent the IRS director from testifying. Tell me again how well the "independent ethics office" works. Drain the freaking swamp.

You had no point. The committee is trying to protect Chaffetz and others from coming ethics charges.

The Dems will run out their own Ethics Violations committees.
