This is really par for the course for a party/ cult whose idol is King Rat, the felonious Malignant Loser:
The
House Ethics Committee said Monday that it is investigating a trio of
GOP lawmakers over allegations ranging from accepting a “free or
below-market-value trip” to Aruba to engaging in an improper
relationship with a staffer.
One
of the lawmakers, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), is a freshman who
lost his GOP primary battle last week. The other two are Reps. Ronny
Jackson (R-Tex.) and Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.). [snip]
In Cawthorn’s case, all 10 Democrats and Republicans voted unanimously
to establish an investigative subcommittee into the embattled North
Carolina Republican’s actions. The subcommittee is tasked with
determining whether Cawthorn “improperly promoted a cryptocurrency in
which he may have had an undisclosed financial interest, and engaged in
an improper relationship with an individual employed on his
congressional staff,” the committee said. [snip]
In
Jackson’s case, the Texas Republican’s campaign committee “reported
campaign disbursements that may not be legitimate and verifiable
campaign expenditures attributable to bona fide campaign or political
purposes,” the Office of Congressional Ethics said in recommending that the matter be further investigated.
The
Federal Election Commission prohibits the use of campaign funds for
memberships in country clubs and similar organizations. There is
“substantial reason to believe” that Jackson used his congressional
campaign funds to “pay for unlimited access to the Amarillo Club, a
private dining club located in Amarillo, Texas,” the OCE said. [snip]
The
House Ethics Committee also published a report on Mooney, who this
month won the primary race for the GOP nomination for West Virginia’s
2nd Congressional District.
The report
said the committee would continue to review several allegations against
Mooney, including that he may have accepted a “free or
below-market-value trip” to Aruba, used a campaign vendor’s Washington
property as a free source of lodging, converted campaign funds to
personal use and pressured congressional staffers to run personal
errands for his family.
Who could possibly have foreseen that these members in good standing of the Corrupt Cult -- a "dark MAGA" nitwit, a pill- pushing drunk, and an anti-Semitic, pro-Russian crank -- would be blind to ethics issues? Clean government is for losers!
