Congress just committed a 'New Years Eve ethics massacre': watchdog
Story by Brad Reed • 17h


Daniel Schuman, the executive director of the American Governance Institute and a former legislative attorney for the Congressional Research Service, is flagging a new change being enacted by the House Ethics Committee that he says amounts to a "New Year's Eve ethics massacre."
 
Writing on his Substack page, Schuman accuses both Republicans and Democrats on the committee of passing rule changes that make corruption easier to get away with.

"Under the cover of the New Years' holiday, Ethics Committee Democrats and Republicans pulled a fast one, legalizing a money laundry so blatantly corrupt it would embarrass Walter White," Schuman contends. "They also made many other allegations of wrongdoing disappear."

Easier?  EASIER?  *bouche* I wasn't aware that was possible.
