Nothing to see here, folks.
Move on.
Most ethical administration EVER.

Whether or not a democrap is fired or forced to resign depends entirely on how useful said democrap is to the dem leadership. Case in point: Maxine Waters. How long have we been waiting for her ethics trial? And we’ll wait a lot longer since grandma Botox doesn’t want to rile up the black vote before the 2012 elections.
Wu, on the other hand, got tossed under the bus because there really is no appreciable Chinese vote in Oregon so who (or Wu?) cares?

Now surely there are arrestable offences in there?
Improper for thee, illegal for we.
Cool. We know our place in the pecking order.
