complaint filed with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Rep. Gowdy

On Tuesday afternoon, a complaint was filed with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Rep. Gowdy, requesting an investigation into the South Carolina congressman “…for accepting $6,000 in political action committee contributions from Anti-Hillary Clinton groups while investigating her.”

The ethics complaint, filed by the Democratic Coalition Against Trump, details how the three $2,000 contributions came from conservative groups affiliated with Stop Hillary PAC – a group that also “…spent [an additional] $10,000 directly in support of Rep. Gowdy.”

Gowdy took payment from these groups in 2015 – while he was the Chairman of the Select Committee investigating the former Secretary of State. He tried to defuse the situation in October of that year by returning the donations in question ahead of a Washington Post story exposing them. Stop Hillary PAC caused an embarrassing scandal days earlier when they aired this Benghazi-themed ad during the Democratic Presidential Debate, one that politicized the deaths of the 4 fallen American heroes.

1. Rep Malfoy makes my skin crawl...

This doesn't strike me as surprising; in fact, I would almost expect it from this scumbag. He's on my "If given the chance would like to throatpunch" shortlist, along with Cruz, McConnell, Ryan, chaffetz, Nunes, etc....you see what I'm getting at, lol. And if NSA is monitoring this, no, I don't intend harm on any of these gents...I'm speaking metaphorically!

7. You've got it in "quotes" so it can mean anything you like. n/t

17. Gowdy gives everyone I know the creeps, even people who don't know about his role re: Clinton

I have always thought that Gowdy will be outed as a pedophile or serial killer at some point (our republican relatives even are creeped out by him).

2. Ethics?

9. No problem.

He'd only cross the republican ethics line if he has sex with children or animals.

And there's probably some wiggle room there, "Hey I thought it was two guys in a horse costume!"

10. Lock him up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. I don't know why Comey's ethics should not be questioned

He writes the letter destroying Hillary's campaign on a bogus email thing he then withdraws

But he doesn't write a letter on Trump & the Russians ... that's still under investigation and there's a gigantic pile of circumstantial evidence or more.

At the very least, he should be fired for being so terribly wrong and tipping the scales of the election such that we have a racist, narcissistic, groping orangutan as president.

12. Oh, Ethics stuff. He's a Republican, don't forget

They don't care about ethical violations if they're the ones doing the violating.

I thought it would be for doing something more creepy, like walking around on Halloween without a mask, and thus scaring kids half to death.

14. That ad exemplifies, at least to me, the timidity...

...or whatever you would like to call it, of Democratic response to outrageous GOP behavior. How was "How DARE you criticize a Dem when your defunding embassy security in two consecutive budgets was a predicate cause of this?" not a no-brainer response?

There were other key points to be made as well, obviously, but that is the one that turns the accusations right around and sends them in the direction they should have been heading all along.

15. Censure him.

Then lock that weasel up!

16. Yayyyyyyyyyy!1 I knew he's got a rotted core!1
