Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas has become yet the latest warning light telling us that the so-called “Conscience Of Congress” is in need of repair.
“…Johnson even told local television stations that she had no moral qualms about using her congressional office to enrich her relatives. “If I had known this was against the law I wouldn’t have done it,” the Johnson told local television station WFAA-TV (Channel 8). “I did not have an ethical alarm go off.” Johnson even went so far as to say that she had never heard of the CBC scholarship rules, even though she once chaired the CBC and current CBC officials have characterized the rules as straightforward and unequivocal. “I never heard the rules even discussed,” Johnson told local radio station KRLD-AM.”
