Pelosi's new Office of Congressional Ethics panel to enable the "draining of the swamp" (which never took place) is now under fire from the Congressional Black Caucus. The CBC wants it gutted because it's an ethics panel that actually might work.

Oh that will just make Charlie Rangle’s day won’t it?

The CBC should be abolished as the RACIST group that it is.

The MEMBERS of the CBC should be ASHAMED, and they should be removed from congress immediately for their racism. We should be calling for the removal of racists from congress, all of em, and that 100% includes every member of the CBC.

Last year, the Office of Congressional Ethics found that Fudge's chief of staff, Dawn Kelly Mobley, "improperly influenced" information that a group called Carib News Foundation provided to the House Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee was trying to decide whether a yearly Caribbean trip the group sponsored for Congressional Black Caucus members violated a newly implemented ban on corporate-funded travel.

Its report found that Mobley gave "internal committee communications" to Carib News Foundation that helped it mislead the committee about the trip's corporate sponsorships. Mobley's actions occurred in 2007, while she was an ethics committee counsel to former U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Cleveland, who then chaired the Ethics Committee and went on the trip. The report indicated Mobley acted at Tubbs Jones' direction. Tubbs Jones died in 2008, before the improprieties came to light.

What's wrong with this picture?

"This proposal brings Congress in line with America's judicial system by creating a process truly free of politics, avoiding trials in the court of public opinion, and stopping the premature release of reports," said Fudge in a statement released last week.

The Democrats loved skewering Newt Gingrich and Bob Livingston in the "court of public opinion", but don't want the same scrutiny applied to their misdeeds. Tough. If you do the crime, you do the time. That includes taking the heat of bad press as your misdeeds are revealed.

“multiple members of the caucus have come under investigation by the board over the past year.”

Clear cut case of racism and profiling. /sarc

How quaint. The public MUST not know what the Congressional Black Caucus has been up to, even if the ethics committee decides it’s not worthy of sanctions...however the public does have a right to know what these folks are doing.

What’s really quaint is that even lawyers in whose states have given the state bar association the right to police itself, you can go to their website and look up an attorney you are considering hiring and find out how many complaints have been filed against them, and how many have been referred to court. At least in my state. But if the commiecrats ever come back to power, I’m sure could change.

Clearly, what's needed is ethical standards reform.

Hate to wander into race-card territory, but this seems like further proof that the vast majority of blacks are simply unfit for public office. The majority of the worst hellholes on this earth (just about every sub-Saharan nation, numerous major US cities, etc) are run by majority black politicians. Now we have US politicians asking the government to make sure that their rules enforcement isn’t so strong, basically admitting that they are rule violators. For the life of me, I cannot name one majority-black city, state or country, nor one large majority-black-led entity, that is sustainable, prosperous and stable.
