If so, I understand his reaction. However I suspect there is a Dem plot in the works to ABUSE this redundant ethics committee --which allowed the filing of anonymous complaints from the public-- to tie innocent Republicans in knots.
Remember how they used something similar to take Sarah Palin out of office? This is how it worked: Dem operatives filed hundreds of ethics complaints against Gov Palin. ALL frivolous, of course. But the effect was to keep Palin preoccupied with defending herself. And she was not allowed to use gov't funds to do so.
That was the real reason that Sarah Palin --a good, competent and ethical governor-- had to choose to resign. The so-called ethics process kept her from being able to do her job.
I think a similar abuse of process is being planned by Dems in Congress. Hence the Repubs' attempt to reform the process.
yea it looked bad, BUT he can jerk them around w/ a Tweet that is what is so cool and WINNING. They all posture and talk tough and then bazing, go work on the real stuff that will MAGA
Trump may have done this strictly because of the optics problem.

I agree with this also. Probably not the right time. However, Pelosi did create this ethics committee and I’m sure it reflects her values so I do expect a more “subtle assessment” coming from Repubs.
