Thread: Schumer and top Dems seek ethics probe of Al Franken groping allegations

I'm not sure why congress would investigate Franken.

He wasn't in congress when that happened,
he was a comedian back then.
Not that that makes it O.K.

I suppose it all evolves around certain expectation regarding the ethics of our elected lawmakers. They're put to a higher standard than someone working in private industry. Also, In view of what's going on with Roy Moore, to ignore it would make the Democrats look like hypocrites.

Going back forty years or more into Roy Moore's life to find dirt or sins will undoubtedly bring troubles to many others. Those who started this may seriously regret their actions. A bright light may shine on their past and human beings rarely lack mistakes or failings.

Ted Kennedy and others did not face this scrutiny and threats of ethics charges or dismissal from Congress. Some of his friends are the ones piling on and shaming Judge Moore.

Over 200 assault claims made in Congress. If the 200 accusers and accused get named maybe some of this will cease. Taxpayers should know what happens with their money and should not pay for assault by Congress members.

With smartphones and cameras everywhere you have to be ask yourself is it worth it to possibly ruin my life and others. What if the staffer used the camera on her cell phone to capture the Congressman who allegedly exposed himself.
