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."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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