No fewer than eight repuke House reps are facing ethics investigations of one sort or another
Michelle Bachmann gets all the pub, but there are at least seven other slimeballs waiting in the wings.

In addition to Michele Bachmann who has abandoned her re-election campaign mid flight after it came out that the IRS is investigating her presidential campaign for numerous reasons (no, she’s not being “targeted” – these charges started in Iowa), there are seven more ethically challenged Republicans in the House. These seven are facing investigations or have paid a fine for their ethically challenged antics and are most likely to follow Bachmann’s flight from the House. Obama “scandal” monger Darrell Issa (R-CA) is not included in this list, though he operates under a permanent cloud of disgrace for his many arrests.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee put together a list of the ethically challenged Republicans who are most likely to be seen running the other way when the words “culture of corruption” are uttered. They are:
Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL) – under investigation by the IRS for financial improprieties.
Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY) – under investigation by the FBI for campaign fundraising improprieties.
Congressman Aaron Schock (R-IL)- under investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics.
Congressman Rodney Davis (R-IL) – refused to comply with Office of Congressional Ethics investigation.
Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) – fined after investigation by Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners.
Congressman Jim Renacci (R-OH) – after refusing to pay his taxes, is still refusing to pay the fine.
Congressman Mark Sanford (R-SC) – paid fee after admitting to trespassing at his ex-wife’s home.
