California Marxist Democrat Rep. Laura Richardson may face full-scale ethics investigation

democrat-logoIf you go to Politico’s front page, you’ll see buried in the middle of the page:

Calif. rep may face ethics inquiry

No mention of party (as is typical when a Marxist Democrat is involved). It’s not until you click the actual story do they mention California Marxist Rep. Laura Richardson being a Democrat. So it’s hard for left wing biased Politico to mention that the House Ethics Committee is now moving closer to a full-scale investigation of Laura Richardson. The allegations are that her staff engaged in banned political activities while on government time, on the tax payer’s dime. It’s not like Marxists have ethics anyway.

Ethics Committee staffers have been digging into the claims against Richardson since last year as part of a “preliminary inquiry” by the panel, and they have been interviewing current and former Richardson aides. The investigators are looking into allegations that Richardson and some of her most senior staffers pressured other aides to work on her reelection campaign or be fired, according to these sources and news reports. Staffers on the congressional payroll are banned from working on political campaigns during official time, and no House resources can be used for campaign-related activities, according to House rules and federal statute.
