Here’s something we’ve been interested in for a while. Recently, when various congressional bamboozlers have gotten in ethics/corruption trouble they’ve claimed that whatever sketchy scam they were working was actually approved by the ethics committee. Only, they didn’t get anything in writing. And the ethics committee won’t comment on individual cases on the record. So it amounts to a completely unverifiable alibi. Now it seems that Lewis staffer Jeffrey Shockey got the same kind of mystery go-ahead.
