What a joke.

The House Ethics Committee on Thursday released a trove of striking internal campaign communications sent in 2018 by Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, in which Tlaib urgently requested money from her congressional campaign to defray personal expenses -- and, a government watchdog said, possibly violated federal law in the process.
The document dump was related to the committee's ongoing ethics probe into Tlaib, which the panel said on Thursday would be "expanded" based on a referral from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE). Additionally, the Ethics Committee acknowledged for the first time on Thursday an investigation into Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings concerning a "personal relationship with an individual employed in his congressional office."
Texts and emails released by the Ethics Committee show Tlaib frantically contacting members of her staff for financial help.
In one April 2018 email offered as an exhibit by OCE, Tlaib wrote that she was "struggling financially right now" and was "sinking." She continued: "So I was thinking the campaign could loan me money, but Ryan said that the committee could actually pay me. I was thinking a one time payment of $5k."
In another email, on April 4, 2018, Tlaib wrote: "I am just not going to make it through the campaign without a stipend."
"With the loss of a second income to lean back on," she wrote. "I am requesting $2,000 per two weeks but not exceeding $12,000. The cost of living stipend is going towards much needed expenses due to campaigning that includes car maintenance, child care and other necessities. Please let me know if I can proceed."

That’s OK, she is from the OK party...
Good news: Roger Stone’s DC jury is now ready.
LOL!
She’s immune to any accountability or punishment.
Being a Dem means never having to say you’re sorry.
She is a mess
Biggest oxymoron of all time.
Poor m@therf@cker Tlaib.
That's always their response because, in their eyes, they can do no wrong.
What a joke.
She has a D next to her name, she is a Muslim, she hates Jews, therefore its all good
Always looks like she's sucking on a lemon.
Yawn....she has 3 or 4 immunity shields....move along...this system of selective justice is destroying the country.....
This is pecker puss Pelosi’s revenge on the squad. No way the ethics committee would be making the terrorist look bad without Pelosi’s direction.
That’s a very good point.
Good thing she was stupid enough to put it “on record” in emails.
Bankrupt the m-fer and boot her out of congress and back to Dearbornistan.
The ugly hurts on this one! the stupid just as much or more!
I find it comical that this wretched dog graduated from the same law school as Michael Cohen -- the Thomas Cooley Law School at Western Michigan University, which is consistently ranked among the worst law schools in the U.S.
