Downie Leaves Ethics Panel; Nancy Pelosi Remains Mum

Rep. Allan Monohan, Downie of West Virginia, has been a crook - and now he is leaving the House Ethics Committee.

Nancy Pelosi (D-Nutjob), who likes to say that there is a "culture of corruption" in the House, was busy doing something else and had no comment.

Senior Democrat Exits House Ethics Panel

The top Democrat on the House ethics committee, Alan Mollohan, will leave the panel _ at least temporarily _ while he defends his own financial conduct, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday.

Mollohan's decision comes in an election year when his party is accusing majority Republicans of allowing a "culture of corruption" in Congress.

Mollohan, of West Virginia, will be replaced by Rep. Howard Berman of California, a former ranking Democrat on the panel. Mollohan has denied any wrongdoing.

The only evenly divided panel in the House, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has been divided along partisan lines for the past 16 months and unable to launch any major new investigations. If Mollohan had stayed while under his own ethics cloud, the chances for the stalemate to end would have been almost impossible.

The Wall Street Journal reported two weeks ago that Mollohan steered millions of dollars to nonprofit groups in his district _ with much of the money going to organizations run by people who contribute to the lawmaker's campaigns.


The MSM barely mentions this. Now, imagine if the Republican chairman of the Ethics Committee had been forced to step aside - the din from the leftist media would have been earthshaking. But when a fellow leftist crook gets nabbed, the yawn buttons get pressed.
