Double standards for criminal democRATs.

A group of House Republicans have taken to questioning the judgment and ethics of the chief of the Congressional Ethics Office, Omar Ashmawy, who has been in his role for the past 12 years.
One lawmaker, provided with greater insights into both the Democrat's September 2022 DUI incident and at least one other significant "lapse of judgment," told Just the News that Ashmawy and his office may soon be held accountable.
Who watches the watchmen?
Just the News reported that senior Republicans on the House Administration, Ethics, and Rules committees were recently briefed on Ashmawy's 2015 bar brawl — a fight the Democrat apparently tried to use his political clout to win after the fact — as well as on the Democrat's drunk driving incident in September.
Reps. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) on House Administration, Tom Cole (R-Okla.) on House Rules, and Michael Guest (R-Miss.) learned that just as Ashmawy was not ultimately disciplined years ago amid accusations of misusing his office and assaulting women, he is now poised to continue unscathed in his position after going off-roading in a residential neighborhood.
