Comment on House Republicans Vote to Strip Independence from Ethics Officeparent

It was a very confusing news article.

The best I understood from it is that they were not happy at releasing reports of someone who was ultimately cleared.

And I can kinda see their POV on that. If they are cleared they are cleared, releasing the full report after that seems intrusive and implies that they did something wrong even if cleared (which may be true, but if that's the case then don't clear them).

The best I understood from it is that they were not happy at releasing reports of someone who was ultimately cleared.

Releasing reports of government activity and investigations into elected officials seems perfectly reasonable to me. Government should be transparent.

This is the kind of answer I was looking for.
