Has anyone ever been disciplined by the ethics committee? They seem like a rather toothless bunch who rarely investigate the D’s. I remember hearing about investigations into AOC and others, but the only person I ever heard of being charged with anything was Chris Collins, New York, R. He resigned for insider trading, which confused me because I assumed EVERY congress critter engaged in that activity and it was an open secret. How else were they becoming millionaires after a couple of terms in office with an annual salary of $174,000?
Linda; When Newt Gingrich the Ds filed something like 800 ethics violation charges against him. He agreed to accept a charge of misuse of a 501c (which was debatable) so he did not have to spend all his time fighting the charges. Of course, once he did that they used that against him.
I have not been keeping up with it to be honest, although a lot of congress people have become very rich in the last 10 years!
