"The OCE was created by House Resolution 895 of the 110th United States Congress in March 2008.[9] It was created under the leadership of then-Speaker Pelosi as part of her effort to "drain the swamp" of corruption in official Washington that had garnered so much attention in the preceding congressional sessions and led to across-the-board Democratic victories in the 2006 and 2008 elections."
"Drain the swamp"? The mosquitoes and alligators and snakes in DC have never had it any better!
"The OCE opened dozens of reviews, based on publicly available information, submissions from the public, press accounts and other sources of information. This included the multiple ethical and criminal violations stemming from, among others, disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and former representatives Duke Cunningham, Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, Mark Foley and William J. Jefferson."
I think you can guess the political party of most of those prosecuted.
Or persecuted.
The Republicans in Washington are hopelessly corrupt, of course. But eight times as corrupt as the Democrats? That's impossible! It only proves that the office is partisan.
Thank you! Have to remember to do some research after I read lib crud. It was early though, so I’ll forgive myself.
