Making it official. No more pesky ethics to hinder the dismantling and exploitation of our country. Part of Putin's plan no doubt. From New Deal to Raw Deal...closed door session of Republicans. No more independent oversight. Gonna use the GOP honor system?
WASHINGTON
— House Republicans, overriding their top leaders, voted on Monday to
significantly curtail the power of an independent ethics office set up
in 2008 in the aftermath of corruption scandals that sent three members
of Congress to jail.
The
move to effectively kill the Office of Congressional Ethics was not
made public until late Monday, when Representative Robert W. Goodlatte,
Republican of Virginia and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that the House Republican Conference had approved the change. There was no advance notice or debate on the measure.
