Finally Betsy's Page The House Ethics Committee has finally lumbered back into action investigating several congressmen. <<< After 16 months of inactivity and partisan infighting, the House ethics committee launched investigations last night into bribery allegations against Reps. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) and William Jefferson (D-La.) and a separate inquiry into the widening scandal surrounding former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.). >>> I question why they aren't investigating Representative Mollohan of West Virginia. <<< That logjam was broken last month when Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (W.Va.), the committee's ranking Democrat, was forced to leave the panel amid accusations that he used his congressional position to funnel money to his own home-state foundations, possibly enriching himself. >>> I'm also not sure why they're investigating Cunningham. He's not in the House any more and he's sitting in prison. Unless they're trying to figure out how to plug up the pathways that he used to funnel money to the people who were bribing him. Could they be thinking about limiting earmarks, the method he used? Probably not, alas. betsyspage.blogspot.com washingtonpost.com
