It is kind of funny that politicians have their own ethics committee that they say is independent but is made up of people from the body it is supposed to police.

I wonder how many from the "sky is falling" pard crew going to praise Trump?

House Republicans pull plan to gut independent ethics panel after Trump tweets
Quote
President-elect Donald Trump dramatically strong-armed House Republicans into line Tuesday in his first Washington power play, after they voted to gut an ethics watchdog in a manner that undercut his vow to drain the establishment "swamp."
Trump made clear his anger at the move on his Twitter account, and GOP lawmakers hurriedly changed plans to target the independent panel, backing down in a controversy that threatened to overshadow the dawn of a new conservative era in Washington.
Trump isn't in office yet and he is already more powerful than Obama. Damn.
