Will this go anywhere? How can someone who is NOT a member of the House file a House ethics complaint? Does Tom Fitton have “standing”? (Not that I don’t approve of this filing. I’d like to file a complaint myself.)
Fake headline.
This is just a letter.
An actual complaint requires two Board Members of the Office of Congressional Ethics.
The Office of Congressional Ethics is one of those cushy jobs that go to former Congressmen and other insiders.
Excerpt:
“Submissions to the OCE
The OCE accepts submissions from the public about alleged violations of ethics rules and laws by Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives. A submission only prompts a preliminary review if it describes a violation that is within the jurisdiction of OCE and the OCE Board determines if there is sufficient basis to authorize a preliminary review. Pursuant to House Rules, all investigations are confidential and the OCE does not comment regarding any pending investigation. Information on what should be included in a submission to the OCE is outlined here.”
