how often are there ethics investigations for actions in senators' previous careers?

[unblock]

actions as senators, obviously that happens plenty.

actions during campaigns, less often but still fair game.


but prior to that? i'm not condoning what franken has admitted to or is accused of, and i'm not saying there shouldn't be a political consequence. i'm just curious how often such things are investigated for sitting senators.

1. I Don't Know But If He Is Requesting It....

shouldn't we respect that?

2. If it has happened, it's clearly not often at all. This is a precedent setting, strategic move.

3. They going to open one on Trump

4. and i think the formally investigated bill clinton for things he did as governor of arkansas

but for the moment i'm talking only about investigating sitting senators.
