Why Should We Trust These Criminals?

This past week, a secret internal July report from the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (the Ethics Committee) was leaked to the press. The report had been 'hacked' off a junior employee's computer while it was connected to a non-secure network. The employee was fired.

The report contained the names and details of current (for July) ethics investigations underway in the House. It named over 30 House members, and several staff members. Some of these names had been previously known from other public disclosure, but some were not. At the top of the list - John Murtha (D-PA).

The outcry from House leadership has not been over the large number of members under investigation, but over the fact their secret report became public knowledge.

I am amazed, but not surprised. These career politicians, led by Lunatic in Chief Pelosi, do not want anyone to know who is dirty, especially when most of the names on the list are Democrat.

The American public should be outraged that such information, concerning legal and ethical violation investigations on their elected officials, are being held secret. Don't we deserve to know everyone who is being investigated and for what - not just the few Republicans that Pelosi and her lap dogs 'out' in press conferences?

Hey Mr. Obama - where is that promise of yours to be the most open administration in US history?
