I was advised that it is a violation of the Congressional Code of Ethics for a member of Congress to attempt to influence a Federal Agency! Frankly, I wasn’t aware that Congress even has a Code of Ethics. Haven’t heard much about it in recent years.

Congress has a code of ethics? Now that is the funniest thing I have heard all day!!!

Back when I was a pup, congress passed scores of special visa bills for people just like this. There was a young man from Taiwan in our community who loved America, took the citizenship exam year after year, but still came up a few points short. He was a nice kid, just mentally slow and not good at taking tests. He was also self-supporting as a handyman/custodian at one of the seedy hotels in town which also provided him room.

Our high school civics class became aware of the case through a newspaper article and took it upon ourselves to write our senators and congressman for a special relief bill which applied only to this one person.

In a few months, the bill was introduced and passed on voice vote along with similar cases throughout the country.

Not only did our local congressional delegation get to brag about their heroic deed in their next constituent newsletter, but it probably kept them occupied from doing real mischief elsewhere.

If such a code does exist or is enforced I can understand how Fed employees such as Kokinon(?) can be so brazen in their own actions.
