Politics as Usual Violating Senate Ethics

Senator Feinstein has decided that making money through the backdoor is more important than our economy. She decided to introduce legislation that would move $25 Billion into the FDIC for spending on their special projects. Okay, so this on the surface looks normal. But.....yes, there is a but....

Senator Feinstein's husband is the board chairman of a real estate company that just received a substantial contract with the FDIC. Again politics as usual, and a clear violation of Senate ethics statutes. Even more fishy is that Senator Feinstein is acting in an area that she is not responsible for. She is not on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs which controls funding for the FDIC. [source]

Come Congress, how can you ignore this? How does the media ignore this? Is the golden girl from the Golden State going to get away with this? Maybe so since so many more politicians seem to dip into the same pot. You know they don't become millionaires just by being in Congress. Funny thing how their spouses become millionaires though.....
