The first priority of this group of Republicans is to ensure that they can do whatever they like without oversight or consequences.
Gutting the Ethics Office is a logical first step towards that end.

The only reason trump is complaining about this is because he doesnât know what the meaning of âethicsâ is. He probably got it mixed up with âesthetics.â Something noticeably absent in the decor of his properties.

How? They have the White House, the House is gerrymandered, and theyâre only defending 8 Senate seats in 2018. Only two of those seats are regarded as vulnerable.

Reading between the lines, I think Trump is saying Putin has not yet approved this gutting.

The time between now and the mid-term elections is about twelve political lifetimes.
Given the conservativesâ penchant for overreach, chances are theyâll be in much worse shape then.
A must read on the subject:

Same thing here in OH-2. Ryan, a staffer in Congresscritter Wenstrupâs office, said he didnât know how Wenstrup voted in caucus, but,
The floor vote will be held later today. Iâll be glad to let you know how the Congressman votes on the floor.
I told Ryan that I know how to find out how the Congresscritter votes on the floor. I pointed out that the important vote was taken in caucus last night and that was the information Iâm seeking. Ryan said he would get that information and get back to me. I shanât hold my breath while I wait.

Donnie, when have the Hill GOP ethics watchdogs brought any charges against Republicans?
Mr Trump, you just canât help but open your mouth and expose your ignorance.
It is the substance here that is the question not the priorities. If the house wished to change the rules that they use to govern themselves then this is in fact the time to make those changes⌠at the beginning of the session. That is when rules changes are SUPPOSED to get put in place.
Your âprioritiesâ tweet was lame and cowardly.

This was a before-session-starts rules change, so they havenât broken that screw-America-first promise. Yet.
I think the more audacious, criminal and damaging Congressâ behavior the more theyâll be rewarded by voters at the polls. Trump bragged about committing sexual assault and still won the Presidency. Apparently there is no such thing as disqualifying behavior on the part of the GOP in the minds of the voters. I predict Republicans will enlarge their Congressional majorities, and the more skeevy and underhanded their behavior in the next two years the better in terms of their electoral prospects.
