Repubs are saying members have spent millions defending themselves from trivial charges?

And that is why they want to do away with the ICE (Independent Committee on Ethics)?

Does anyone have any examples of ethic charges being investigated that were "trivial"?

Does anyone have any examples of unnecessary investigations of our ethical members of Congress?

That bullshit about "trivial" ethics charges is a pretext. Those ethics charges are really serious crimes they don't want brought to light because they know they'd be facing serious prison time if the truth were to come out.

They have demonstrated time and again they cnnot be trusted with impunity.

When they shut down the government that cost at least $24 Billion.

Probably not the one they're talking about.

Funny how they have no specifics. None at all.
