"Shocking" News from Washington: Doolittle Opposes House Ethics Probes for Indicted Members
In what can only be described as a not-at-all surprising development, Rep. John Doolittle late last night voted against a measure requiring speedy ethics investigations for any member of Congress indicted for criminal conduct. The Democratic resolution was approved by a 387-10 margin.
Doolittle found an ally in his fellow Californian, Republican Rep. David Dreier. According to The Hill: "The legislation came under sharp attack from Rep. David Dreier of California, the top Republican on the Rules Committee, who complained the resolution was poorly drafted and could spark an ethics investigation of a traffic ticket or an arrest at a protest. Hoyer said the ethics commission would not investigate trivial matters." Print this report | Send to a friend About Roger Salazar | All Reports by Roger Salazar U.S. Congress
