Lots of popcorn.
That’s an interesting approach...
In other words investigate this for a few months so I can win the election first
[ BREAKING: Ellison Asks House Ethics Committee to Investigate Allegations by Ex-Girlfriend ]
Translation: My fellow Democrats have assured me they will whitewash the matter. Just like they did for Hillary. We wiped it; like with a cloth.
Oh my, I used “whitewash”.
The Ethics Committee where accusations go to die.
Yeah, he's a wife-beating mozlum.
Next!
dummy muzzie.
He’d better hope the local rags don’t get a hold of his divorce records in the meantime....
Unsubstantiated....unsubstantiated....hmmm. What does that word mean? I’ve heard it somewhere before.
Where’s the media on ol’ Bob Menendez and his underage Dominican hookers?
For that, where are Republican Senators calling for an ethics investigation?
Mighty quiet out there.
He betting on the Dems retaking the house and giving him a whitewash
What..NO FBI Investigation!! That’s outrageous, after all the left wants the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh but Ellison isn’t calling on the FBI to investigate him
That’s a great way to sweep it under the rug.
The Ellison retort is beating them every time they call for an investigation of Kavenaugh … I guess they are trying this now so we can’t use it against them.
They’re frankening him. His previously acceptable physical abuse of a woman is making a quiet mockery of his party’s ability to get super-outraged at the imaginary abuse of a woman by a Republican more important than he is.
The “House Ethics Committee” is one of the few bipartisan groups in DC. It’s purpose is to excuse bad behavior (and criminal behavior) by members of both parties. Both parties know they REALLY need excuses often and that the excuses won’t be believed unless they are bipartisan. So they work together to keep each other out of prison.
Once a member calls on the committee, you know he’s screwed (guilty) without a bipartisan finding of “innocence” that can be used to avoid other impartial investigations. Orat least to push other investigations past an election (”the committee is investigating so you have to wait”) and provide an excuse for not commenting during the election (”I can’t comment while the committee is investigating”).
No, he’s doing it so the Dems can ask Kavanaugh why he’s not doing the same.
After Kavanaugh gets confirmed and this continues, #metoo will be in a world of hurt.
So Ellison is asking the Ethics committee, which is bi-partisan, and thus has lots of Dems who will protect him, to do a thorough investigation, with only about a month before the 2018 election, with the House soon to go into recess, so the House members can go back to campaign. In other words, this is an empty gesture that is designed to make him look good.
He just F’d up royally. She has evidence and medical reports.
He should demand that the FBI investigate, right? The Dems seem to think that is the only way to get to the truth.
