An ethics investigation of Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) has put Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in a politically tricky spot.

Years ago as minority leader, Boehner called on Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) to relinquish his Ways and Means Committee chairmanship during a high-profile ethics investigation.

Now, new allegations of insider trading against Bachus present Boehner with a tough choice: Call for Bachus to step down as chairman of the Financial Services Committee as an ethics panel investigates him, stand by him, or wait until the probe is completed.

Democrats are likely to pounce on the Bachus allegations while noting that there have been other Republican controversies brewing over the past year.
