Foley Report: Today’s the Day (in Theory)It’s the last day of the 109th Congress, which means that if the GOP-controlled House is going to release its ethics report on the Foley scandal, they have to do it today. So keep an eye out.
Signs are tiny, but promising: senior aides whispered to Roll Call earlier this week that the report “could” be publicly released this week. And ethics committee members murmured to the AP that they don’t want to deal with this next year.
Still, no one’s quite sure whether the committee will be delivering their long anticipated report.
The committee could, as the final act of the most inept board of overseers of the famously inept 109th Congress, simply pass the chore on to the new, Democrat-led ethics committee in January. That would undoubtedly delay the process even further, since the committee will be shifting membership along with the new Congress.
