Republican legal group files ethics complaint against Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida is the subject of a new ethics complaint filed in the Office of Congressional Ethics.
The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) filed the complaint in response to a video the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which Wasserman Schultz chairs, released last week.
As The Daily Caller previously reported, the DNC ad promoting President Barack Obama’s American Jobs Act appeared to violate House ethics rules that prevent footage of floor proceedings from being used for political purposes.
The 30-second ad, however, featured only footage of the president’s recent speech to a joint session of Congress — not speeches of members of Congress themselves.
Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem for the DNC. But since Wasserman Schultz is a member of Congress, some say the House ethics rules now apply to the DNC.

Thanks for the additional info, kcvl. That explains it; and wow, that didn’t take long!
The ethics complaint was filed only yesterday!
So they dumped her from the committee so bambi could keep running his add..? Sounds about typical of that crowed.
Good olde conflict of interest eh?
I wonder what her other reasons are for leaving that powerful committee? I would think furthering the prosecuition of Harriet Miers and Joshua Bolton from the Bush 43 Administration would be a cherry far too sweet to leave behind... I wonder what motivated her.
In the days of old, who would have imagined a loose cannon having goldilocks and a mouth reminiscent of opening a sardine can as a legislator...
