Now there is a oxymoron. Ethics and Republican in the same sentence, same page, same chapter or the same book.
Not surprising. No one liked that asshole and the ethics committee is made up of both Ds and Rs that have no love lost for this doofus. That’s one way to make sure he never comes back…hit him where it hurts.
Well, Steverino, this liberal is crying no tears over your predicament. You’ll just have to lubricate your guns with something else. Douche.
If anybody will scream ‘liberal media,’ it will be the Texas Bigmouth.
“This is a clear attempt by a lawless White House to aid and abet voter fraud. Whether it is blocking the prosecution of voter intimidation in Philadelphia, illegally running guns to Mexican drug lords or assisting voter fraud in Texas Barack Obama has decided the rule of law takes a back seat to ‘Rules for Radicals.’
He can fabricate any number of instances of malfeasance as long as he ascribes them to the President, but when he blatantly breaks the law himself, it’s just a “reporting error”
“OCE announced in a press release that it had sent a referral in March to the House Ethics Committee recommending further investigate a number of allegations . . .”
What language is this?
If he was a Democrat, FoxSpews would be howling for his head… but since Stockman was good enough to walk away from his seat so he could get his ass kicked by John Cornyn, they’ll just shove him under the rug until he’s gone in January.
“…an FEC reporting error…”
The Texas way of saying, “Guilty”.
So it is actually possible for a congressman to leave congress and be so repugnant that he/she will not be qualified to be a lobbyist?
“FEC reporting error.”
Yeah, it’s the government’s fault. Even though I work for the government.
(Ergo, he’s guilty by association? If he were a Democrat from the coasts, that’s the way Fox news would roll.)
Dishonesty and ignoring rules are in the hearts and minds of certain politicians, specially, Republicans. Appointed as part-time staff and paying full time! OMG! Is there any underhand/under-the-table deal, Hon’ble Congressman Stockman?
Oh no! bluintenn, you misunderstood Stockman. It is actually Obama’s fault!
Stockman? I didn’t know he was still around. He used to give Louis a good run for his money as Republican caucus clown back in the day.
They’re only going after him because he was getting too close on what really happened in Benghazi.
Precisely!
Think Darrell Issa will investigate…?
I your delusion turning into deep paranoia OR is it the other way around??
Stockman is a walking ethics disaster. Ethics? The man wouldn’t recognize an ethics failure if it hit him in the face. He is your typical Tea Publican in that he is willing to do anything and break any rule while claiming to have “values”.
So he was getting the federal government to pay two people for no-show jobs (part time vs fulltime) and they kicked some of the government money they were fraudulently paid back to him in the form of campaign contributions, which were inaccurately reported?
Sounds like conspiracy to defraud the government to me.
