Schmidt Faces Ethics Investigation

The House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), "who has been accused of accepting thousands of dollars in free legal services from a Turkish-American group," the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

"If a formal investigation finds wrongdoing, Schmidt could face reprimand, censure or expulsion. If the office decides to dismiss the case, however, it could do so without ever saying anything publicly."

And that's something Sibel Edmonds isn't allowed to talk about.

8. Will Jean cut and run?

They're just accusations at this point, innocent until proven guilty and all that. But wouldn't it be nice if Jean had to be battling an ethics beef while trying to run for re-election?

10. She is despicable. I am not surprised she is ethically challenged. nt
