The New York Post, better late than never, discovers an allegator in Mrs. Pelosi’s Swamp, to wit her ethically challenged Chairman of the Judiciary Committee John Conyers. [1]
But Conyers’ credibility as the Democrats’ moral watchdog was shredded by the dubious deal he just struck with the House Ethics Committee – which was made public late last Friday in a holiday-weekend bid to avoid publicity.
After a probe lasting more than three years, the committee declared that Conyers has “accepted responsibility” for a series of House rules violations involving the use – and abuse – of his staffers.
The Post compares Conyers to disgraced and resigned former New York State Controller Alan Hevesi:
New York’s state comptroller, Alan Hevesi, just lost his job and pleaded guilty to a felony for doing a lot less with taxpayer-funded employees.
Mark Foley resigned. Hevesi resigned. Mrs Pelosi should demand no less from Conyers.
