Democrats have been having a rough time lately as the phony Russia collusion narrative crumbles (with a little help from noted fake news purveyor CNN) while some of the party’s most venerated officials are facing allegations of misconduct – be it for colluding with the Clinton campaign (Loretta Lynch) (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-23/senate-judiciary-committee-opens-probe-loretta-lynch) or for allegedly submitting a fraudulent loan application and improperly pressuring a regional lender (Bernie and Jane Sanders).

Add to that list Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) who as the Hill reports (http://thehill.com/homenews/house/339603-high-power-dems-facing-ethics-scrutiny) are facing possible ethics infractions and will appear before a panel at the recommendation of the Office of Congressional Ethics. The OCE is an independent, bipartisan group that examines ethics complaints and forwards what it considers the most serious cases to the Ethics Committee.

John Conyers (D-Mich)
While the ethics charges are less serious than the Senate probe into Lynch or the FBI investigation into the Sanderses, they represent another black eye for Democrats, whose unceasing criticisms of President Donald Trump’s purported “business conflicts” have now been exposed as unvarnished hypocrisy.
In addition to Conyers and Lujan, Michael Collins, chief of staff to Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), is also under review, the House panel announced.
