The Long Island representative was arrested in May on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and lying to Congress. In October, a superseding indictment added additional charges related to an identity theft and money laundering scheme involving his campaign.

Then again, if lying to congress was considered unethical, they’d all be expelled.
Disband the ethnics committee then because they clearly don’t have any.
I believe that some Republicans would argue that we have too many “ethnics” already.
® after your name, real life plot armor.
No surprise, they’ll wait till he actually has a cellmate before losing his vote in Congress. He’s being charged with wire fraud, he’s fucked.

“Republicans fail to hold themselves accountable” is the not-newsiest of the not-news.

3 seperate and distinct concepts.
Of course they are, they always were going to just like Ken Paxton in TX. The only difference here is that they really couldn’t afford to lose him because of the D/R distribution
Fucking pathetic
Power is too important in their minds. They don’t care about the means, costs, or consequences as long as they have power
Is there a federal politician who isn’t a con artist?
He accurately represents conservatives. So, they do not see his behavior as unethical.

Shameless fucking Republicans man.
Well that sets a nice example… On the plus side I assume we will soon disband the ethics committee and everyone will receive a back payment tax refund for all funds directed to this group since it is now emperically proven to be useless.
