re: #73 Walter L. Newton

There is talk that it’s a racial issue, that blacks are being targeted in these allegations…

“The question of whether black lawmakers are now being singled out for scrutiny has been simmering throughout the 111th Congress, with the Office of Congressional Ethics a focal point of the concerns. At one point earlier this year, all eight lawmakers under formal investigation by the House ethics committee, including Rangel and Waters, were black Democrats. All those investigations originated with the OCE, which can make recommendations — but takes no final actions — on such cases.”

That was inevitable, I’m afraid.
