Allegations of ethics violations by a handful of Democrats in recent months reached something of a crescendo this week as two prominent members of Congress were accused of corruption.

California Rep. Jane Harman denied allegations that she offered to help seek reduced charges for two pro-Israel lobbyists suspected of espionage in exchange for help from a pro-Israel donor, also suspected Israeli agent, in lobbying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to give Harman a key chairmanship.

And California Sen. Dianne Feinstein denied that she devised legislation that helped her husband get a federal contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.

Nothing will happen to them. We are under total communist King Obama rule. We have lost most of America and will not recover. Face it.

How’s going to request investigations since they are in charge?

Exactly. It is too late to call for help. The complacent, enabling Republicans have no legs to stand on.

If these were Republicans this story would be bigger than Mark Foley. They treated that like it was worse than Watergate for crying out loud.

And why are the PUBs silent on this? The RATs didn’t worry that they might get caught in the trap when they were hollering “Culture of Corruption”. If PUBs had a set, they would be on the floor, like Cato calling for the destruction of Carthage, with cries of “The culture of corruption is open under new management”.

Give THEM a taste of the “Big Lie”.

Both Harmon and Feinstein denied the allegations that they were corrupt, just as Dodd, Franks, Rangel, Murtha and the others have.
So this is just another Right Wing witch hunt against honorable elected officials. And and and don't forget Ted Stevens was convict.... oops never mind.
Well anyway your mother wears combat boots. So there.
