ANOTHER Democrat Caught Cheating

The House Ethics Committee on Friday announced it has extended its investigation into Rep. Rob Andrews over allegations that the New Jersey Democrat misused campaign funds to take private family trips.

The secretive panel also released a lengthy report from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) detailing the allegations, including charges that Andrews tapped tens-of-thousands of dollars in campaign funds to cover a 2011 trip to a wedding in Scotland, as well as multiple visits the same year to Los Angeles with his daughters.

funny thing,.. I hadn't heard about it...

but who can fault a guy for unseing his daughter as a campaign prop... :?

he repaid her by taking her to L.A.,... after shredding all her checks?

In June 2011, the report said, Andrews and his wife, Camille, hosted a high school graduation party for one of their daughters that the party invitations also described as a celebration of Andrews’s 20 years in Congress. The couple used a mix of personal and PAC money to pay for the event. The report said more than 300 people attended the party — and that just 14 were personal friends of Andrews’s daughter.

Camille Andrews told investigators that their daughter received gifts from party guests but that “every single check that was given to her at the party, we shredded.” She did not say why the checks were shredded, according to the report.

In November 2011, Andrews and his daughters took multiple trips to Los Angeles that were paid for with PAC money. Andrews told investigators that he visited Los Angeles for PAC planning meetings and that his daughters performed basic campaign volunteer duties while on the trip. But he later refused to provide investigators with meeting notes or itineraries. While in Los Angeles, Andrews said, one of his daughters also attended recording sessions for her fledgling music career.

sadly,... he was fairly moderate for a democrat...
