On Monday night, I received both an email and a text message about a Hill news story that LV Congress member Susan Wild (D-Pa.) leaked derogatory information about a House Ethics Committee investigation, where she is the Ranking into former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fl.). She did so after President-elect Donald Trump named him as his choice for Attorney General.
Members of the House Ethics Committee take an oath "that I will not disclose, to any person or entity outside the Committee on Ethics, any information received in the course of my service with the Committee, except as authorized by the Committee or in accordance with its rules.”
Wild has been identified as the source of leaks that occurred, even after Gaetz withdrew from consideration. According to unnamed sources, she's admitted she's the source of the leak. And rather than face unpleasant questions about violating her oath, she shipped last week's meeting of the House Ethics Committee.
This is the kind of dishonest behavior from a person who parks in a spot reserved for the handicapped and then blows off two requests for an explanation.
