House REPUBLICANS Votes to Severely Weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71450286 United States 01/03/2017 02:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	House REPUBLICANS Votes to Severely Weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics House Republicans voted to weaken the power of the ethics office that was set up last decade following corruption scandals that sent members of Congress to prison. The move to weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics was not public until late Monday, when Representative Robert Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that the House Republican Conference had approved the change with no advance public notice or debate. In its place, a new Office of Congressional Complaint Review would be set up within the House Ethics Committee, which before the creation of the Office of Congressional Ethics had been accused of ignoring credible allegations of wrongdoing by lawmakers

The House Republicans’ move would take away both power and independence from an investigative body, and give lawmakers more control over internal inquiries. It also came on the eve of a historic shift in power in Washington, where Republicans control both houses of Congress and where a wealthy businessman with myriad potential conflicts of interest is preparing to move into the White House. CROOKS BEING CROOKS

THIS IS YUUUGE!
