Three House Dems on Judiciary Committee hit with ethics allegations

Fox News reports that three Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee who voted against President Trump on impeachment are now under suspicion for unethical activities of their own.

Rep. Madeline Dean of Pennsylvania, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, and Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia all had ethics complaints filed against them by a watchdog nonprofit group on Wednesday.

Americans for Public Trust asked for investigations as to whether the trio violated House rules and federal law.

"All three of these members have engaged in disturbing activities that appear to us to be violations of federal law and House rules. This is especially alarming given all three sit on the prestigious House Judiciary Committee, which has direct oversight responsibilities over the U.S. Department of Justice and, by extension, the nation's law enforcement," said Adam Laxalt, former Nevada attorney general and counsel to the group.

"We're calling on the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Ethics to immediately investigate these suspicious activities."

She did so in a C-SPAN broadcast on healthcare where she used the time given to her as a member of the House to ask for campaign donations.

These three very possibly stood in ethical judgment of the president while they had broken rules of ethics and laws themselves.
