Fox News reports that three Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee who voted against President Trump on impeachment are now under suspicion for unethical activities of their own.
Rep. Madeline Dean of Pennsylvania, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, and Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia all had ethics complaints filed against them by a watchdog nonprofit group on Wednesday. Americans for Public Trust asked for investigations as to whether the trio violated House rules and federal law.
“All three of these members have engaged in disturbing activities that appear to us to be violations of federal law and House rules. This is especially alarming given all three sit on the prestigious House Judiciary Committee, which has direct oversight responsibilities over the U.S. Department of Justice and, by extension, the nation’s law enforcement,” said Adam Laxalt, former Nevada attorney general and counsel to the group. “We’re calling on the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Ethics to immediately investigate these suspicious activities.”

The charges against Dean are that she used funds from one campaign, for lt. governor of PA, in another campaign, a race for Congress. The law says only funds for federal races can be used for other federal races. The PA race was not federal, thus violating FEC rules.
These three clowns will get the McCabe treatment.
The seriousness of the charges go one way.
The magnanimity of exhonerations the other.
More subterfuge??
It’s a clear message from Pelosi, vote against us and this is what happens.
Democrat=Above the law. Nothing will happen.
Question are these three Dems in secure blue districts? If not, then the accusations make sense, especially with how the Dems are losing minority support. just a question and a thought.
SEXISM
Nice timing, I hear Barr is too busy to investigate as twitter has him all in knots.
“These three clowns will get the McCabe treatment.”

Wake me for the perp walk.

“Three women? SEXISM”
Seems our women have reached equality, for sure in political lying and scamming.

Yep.
Sounds like campaign finance.
