Ethics Complaint Filed Against Rep. Mollohan In Other Violations No Agenda From The National Legal and Policy Center... <<< The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) today disclosed that it filed a 500-page Complaint on February 28 with the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia detailing hundreds of ethics law violations by Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV). Rep. Mollohan is the ranking member of the House ethics committee and a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee. The Wall Street Journal this morning carried a front-page story about the case. The lengthy complaint followed a nine-month investigation by NLPC, the ethics group that also broke the Boeing procurement scandal in 2003. NLPC alleged financial conflicts of interest by former Air Force official Darleen Druyun in negotiating the lease of refueling tanker aircraft. Ms. Druyun and Boeing CFO Michael Sears eventually served prison terms, and Boeing CEO Phil Condit resigned. >>> More at Human Events. humaneventsonline.com UPDATE: Congress Daily reports that House Speaker Hastert says Mollohan should resign from the House Ethics Commitee: <<< House Speaker Hastert today said he believes Minority Leader Pelosi should ask Ethics ranking member Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., to step aside -- if only temporarily -- in light of a report this morning that federal prosecutors are investigating Mollohan's finances and whether they were properly disclosed. Hastert said he had asked former House Administration Chairman Ney to relinquish his chairmanship earlier this year when Ney was confronted with ethics questions. "I asked my chairman to step aside, that's really up to Ms. Pelosi, that's her choice. There's a precedent for it," Hastert said. Both the House Administration and Ethics committees are leader-appointed. "I was wondering why [Ethics Committee Democrats] were dragging their feet on this whole ethics thing," Hastert said. "I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, we'll see." >>> noagenda.org nlpc.org nationaljournal.com
