Risks Lie in Submitting Allegations to the New Ethics Office
Q: I am a recently retired employee of a government watchdog group. I have suspicions that the Representative in my district may have engaged in a pay-to-play scheme with a local contractor. I am considering filing a complaint, and am pleased that the newly created Office of Congressional Ethics allows private citizens like me to do so. My wife says that I should be careful, however. She says that if I start trouble, I could wind up in trouble myself. What is the process for reviewing complaints filed with the Office of Congressional Ethics, and do I have anything to be concerned about in filing one?
