How dare they stain the record of the long list of Legislative accomplishments such a productive Iconic figure has given our nation and his district.

A watchdog group is asking congressional ethics officials to investigate Rep. John Lewis (D., Ga.) and his chief of staff over apparent violations of House ethics rules, according to a letter released on Monday
quote:
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust's letter is asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to probe Lewis chief of staff Michael Collins' dual roles in the congressman's Washington office and as the treasurer for his 2016 reelection campaign.
Ethics rules bar senior House staff from serving in any fiduciary role for a political organization, and specifically mentioned campaign treasurers as a prohibited position for such staffers.
quote:
FACT's complaint doesn't just target Collins; it claims that Lewis himself is culpable for ethics violations by his top staffer.
"In this case, not only did Collins directly violate these rules, but Representative Lewis also violated the ethics rules because his own campaign employed Collins in a prohibited position and paid him a prohibited salary," FACT wrote in its letter to OCE.

I thought JL was allowed to do wherever the Frick he wants to because some honkey went upside his head 50 years ago?

Not racist but he's a black congressman so chances are he's committed plenty of ethics violations.

a) his Civil Rights record is used as a talisman against any criticism for his shite record in Congress (see John McCain and Vietnam)
b) it will be a good excuse for why he flagrantly broke the ethics rules

sounds better than gleefully mocking him getting his skull fractured FWIW
