What a shock, Chris Dodd gets off scott free from the Countrywide ethics probe

And Kent Conrad too. From Market Watch:

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., was cleared by the Senate Ethics Committee from a year-long investigation about whether mortgages he obtained from Countrywide Financial violated the Senate’s rules on gifts. “While the committee finds no substantial credible evidence as required by committee rules that your Countrywide mortgage violated Senate ethics rules, the committee does believe that you should have exercised more vigilance in your dealings with Countrywide in order to avoid the appearance that you were receiving preferential treatment based on your status as a senator,”

There are no ethics left in Washington.

    Well it continues to defend their premise that the American public are too lazy and dumb to do anything about it. Will the voters of CT send him back to DC? I hope not.
    Term Limits and a ten year ban on lobbying for former elected officials and their families. That includes seats on corporate boards ….. Mrs. Dodd!!!
