With severely ethically challenged characters such as Conyers, Leahy, Reid, Murtha, Biden, Pelosi, and many others running the show, it is hardly a surprise that these self-righteous hyprocrites would place their own kind in positions of power.
Now we have yet another ethically challenged Congressman to worry about. Representative Alan Mollohan, D-WV, is the new Chairman of the panel that determines the budget of the FBI. Low and behold, Mollohan is himself the subject of an FBI investigation for allegedly personally benefiting from the distribution of federal funds--a violation of the law.
Mollohan is under investigation by the FBI. He will determine the FBI budget. Does anyone notice any conflict of interest?
In the CNS News Report below, you will see how Mollohan's appointment as Chair of this panel is beginning to backfire. It's about time. There is more sleaze dripping all over Capitol Hill now than we have seen in many, many years.

On Wednesday, Mollohan was selected to head the House Appropriations Committee's subcommittee for Science, State, Justice, Commerce and Related Agencies, which oversees the Department of Justice, including the FBI.
