A new ethics complaint was filed Wednesday against Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) after it was revealed he was coordinating with President Donald Trump’s attorney and recently indicted associates to garner “dirt” on former Vice President Joe Biden.

“The House Intelligence Committee’s Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Report dated December 3, 2019 used a subpoena to obtain phone records which plainly demonstrate that ranking member Devin Nunes (R-CA) has an actual conflict of interest with an ongoing impeachment hearing he oversees,” the filed complaint filed by The Democratic Coalition stated. “That is because Rep. Nunes is currently engaged in overseeing an investigation in which it appears he is a fact witness, and which may examine his own activities and meetings with agents and lawyers of the President who solicited foreign election assistance, as well as potentially into his own contacts with foreign government officials.”

The complaint goes on to cite House Rule XXIII (1) which states: “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.”

Juanita Jean is happy- Fort Bend Lawmaker Rick Rick Miller is retiring

Rick Miller is an asshole. His district was heavily gerrymandered to cut out African American neighborhoods and pack Asian neighborhoods since at the time of this gerrymandering Asian voters either did not vote or voted for GOP candidates In 2018, Sri Preston Kulkarni ran for Congress and helped mobilize Asian voters who turned out in record numbers and voted for Democrats. Fort Bend is very diverse and 25% of the voters are Asian.

Here are some comments from Juanita Jean about this asshole https://juanitajean.com/local-politics/

One of our state representative districts is currently held by 74 year old Rick Miller. Rick got statewide attention a couple of years ago for sponsoring anti-LGBTQ legislation. His son, Beau, is a highly respected Houston lawyer who was recently elected a district court judge. Beau is gay and is HIV positive.

Rick just barely pulled out a win two years ago. He’s worried, and he’s especially worried because for the first time since he won the seat, he’s facing primary opponents. Rick made the newspaper again.

He summed up one of his opponents like this: “He’s a Korean,” said Miller, describing Jacey Jetton, a former chairman of the Fort Bend GOP. “He has decided because, because he is an Asian that my district might need an Asian to win. And that’s kind of racist in my mind, but anyway, that’s not necessary, at least not yet.”

A second Republican primary candidate, Houston Fire Department analyst Leonard Chan, “jumped in probably for the same reason,” said Miller, 74, during an interview with Hearst Newspapers. “I don’t know, I never met the guy. I have no idea who he is. He has not been around Republican channels at all, but he’s an Asian.”


To make matters worse, two of his Democratic opponents are Asian Americans.

One of the candidates running in the Democratic Primary is a friend Rish and other commented on Miller's comments
