The House Ethics Committee on Thursday released a trove of striking internal campaign communications sent in 2018 by Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, in which Tlaib urgently requested money from her congressional campaign to defray personal expenses -- and, a government watchdog said, possibly violated federal law in the process.The document dump was related to the committee's ongoing ethics probe into Tlaib, which the panel said on Thursday would be "expanded" based on a referral from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE). Additionally, the Ethics Committee acknowledged for the first time on Thursday an investigation into Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings concerning a "personal relationship with an individual employed in his congressional office."
Texts and emails released by the Ethics Committee show Tlaib frantically contacting members of her staff for financial help.
In one April 2018 email offered as an exhibit by OCE, Tlaib wrote that she was "struggling financially right now" and was "sinking." She continued: "So I was thinking the campaign could loan me money, but Ryan said that the committee could actually pay me. I was thinking a one time payment of $5k."
In another email, on April 4, 2018, Tlaib wrote: "I am just not going to make it through the campaign without a stipend."

That's going to end poorly for her I should think.
 
Haven't we all been pushed financially at some point in our lives and been forced to do illegal stuff? Okay. Maybe not.

She should've tried a GoFundMe thing. Worked for Ciaramella. Oh. Wait. Maybe not that either.

And Trump stole charity donations destined for a cancer charity for children in order to buy portraits of himself to gaze at, and to contribute to his sleazy campaign fund. Perspective, learn some.

What are you on about, this is about Talib, not Trump, I know he lives rent free in your head but do stay on topic. I'm on record slamming Trump, was against his nomination and didn't vote for him, go vomit your TDS on someone else's thread.

Just offering a parallel which you clearly got angry about. Truth sucks doesn't it? "Go vomit"? Aren't you the little charmer!:lamo

No, you went with the immature "WHAT ABOUT"ism instead of discussing the thread at hand.

Stay on topic, the topic is Talib's unethical behavior, if you wish to start yet another "I HATE TRUMP! ORANGE MAD BAD" thread, go ahead, but don't pollute this one as he's not relevant to this.
 
Anyone who does not currently support the President to be impeached should not be trusted with what is, and what isn't unethical behavior.
 
Maybe Rashida and Katie can do racy videos together once the former is forced out of the House as well...
