The Washington Free Beacon reports that Harry Reid has been accused of ethics violations:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) illegally used official Senate resources for political purposes, according to an ethics complaint filed this week.
A reported meeting between Reid and his caucus in which the Nevada Democrat promoted his 2016 reelection campaign violated Senate ethics rules, the complaint alleges.
The Free Beacon explains the complaint and the group who made it:
“Senator Reid’s actions appear to make a mockery of both the Senate Ethics Rules and federal law,” the complaint states. “He reportedly announced his reelection campaign from the confines of an official Senate meeting room located mere steps from the Senate floor.”
The complaint was filed on Tuesday by the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a new conservative ethics watchdog group run by former U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker. … Ethics rules prohibit senators from using official resources “to assist campaign organization.” The chamber’s ethics manual prohibits “campaign activity in federal buildings.”
It seems Reid is trying to enjoy power without responsibility.
