Ethics Foundation Requests A.G. Holder Investigate Sen. Boxer
In a breaking development that may affect the close California Senate race, PJ Media has learned The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service sent a letter to Eric Holder last Thursday requesting the attorney general “begin an investigation to determine whether United States Senator Barbara Boxer violated any criminal laws or should be liable for any civil penalty for failure to disclose real property on her Personal Financial Disclosure Reports between 2002 and 2010.”
The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization “that seeks to bring a new level of transparency, accountability and integrity to all levels of government in the United States.” Boxer is the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
The specific property FEPS is referring to is an Oakland, California, home valued at over a million dollars and co-owned by Boxer, her husband Stewart, their son Douglas, and his wife Amy. The letter to Holder reads in part:
Despite the fact that Senator Boxer had an ownership in 854 Longridge Road [in Oakland], she failed to report this substantial real property asset on any of her personal financial disclosures between 2002 and 2010. She had also failed to report the mortgage on the property. Further, she failed to report the purchase of 854 Longridge Road in 2002. Each year Boxer was required to have filed a “full and complete report.”
The filing of false or incomplete disclosure statements is in violation of the Ethics in Government Act. The Act authorizes the Attorney General of the United States to seek civil penalties against Senators who knowingly and willfully falsify or fail to report required information. The knowing and willful concealment of the existence of substantial amount of real property for a prolonged period may subject Senators to federal criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. paragraph 101. [other citations are available at the link]
The Oakland home is currently lived in by Douglas and his wife. This is not the first time Senator Boxer’s son has been the center of controversy. The senator reportedly paid out nearly $500,000 from her campaign contributions to her son’s public relations firm between 2001 and 2009. Those moneys could have been used to pay off the mortgage on the Oakland property, adding urgency to the DOJ investigation sought by The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service and further complicating the legal and ethical issues involved.
Indeed, ethical questions have been dogging the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics of late. According to an October 13 Washington Examiner article by Marta Mossburg (“It’s time for Sen. Barbara Boxer to come clean on her mortgage loans“), Boxer held no fewer than seven mortgages with Countrywide Financial, the company at the center of the mortgage scandal she was investigating as chair of her committee.
Despite the obvious impropriety, Boxer did not recuse herself. Instead she signed as “chair” the letter that exonerated Chris Dodd after the Connecticut senator got favorable mortgage rates from Countrywide. That letter — available at the ethics.senate.gov site — is worth reading now in light of what we have learned of Boxer’s own activities.
If Barbara Boxer is returned to the Senate, she will resume her position as chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. It is she who will preside over investigations into the ethical behavior of our senators.
The democrat party is nothing more then an organized crime syndicate.
…. The “democratic” party is nothing more than the street name of an organized crime syndicate ….
Spot on.
Vast war-profiteering, pension-fund robbing, money-laundering, illicit-drug-running and dealing, criminal-alien-invasion facilitating, RICO-racketeering, organized criminal enterprises.
And this is nothing new. The party has behaved this way since Andrew Jackson’s presidency.
Al Capone looks like an angel compared to mam Boxer.
Having owned and operated a CPA tax practice with my husband, I am very familiar with the disclosure forms regarding financial assets for public officials.
It was our job to fill out, in FULL detail, ALL the financial assets of a Judge who was a client. NO stone was left unturned in reporting.The client, and our office, understood the seriousness of this disclosure, knowing full well that a breach of omission was NOT an option.
Therefore, she and her financial advisers do not have an ethical leg to stand on by claiming -oops, we just didn’t know what the requirements were.yes, they did!
That’s it? Property?
The GOP robbed the public blind with no bid contracts, failed economics and illegal wars and thats all you got?
Try harder.
So all futures crime should be ignored? What are you talking about?
He’s talking about covering up the rules-are-for-the-little-people crimes of Barbara “Check Bouncer” Boxer. When the House Bank Scandal came to light Boxer, then a sitting member of the House of Representatives, was discovered to be the number one overdraft abuser. She wrote checks her account couldn’t cover.
When asked about these improprieties, she replied “I’m sure Hitler kept a very nice checkbook.” Really. IOW, if you’re responsible, Boxer calls you a Nazi. This explains a lot about Democrat politicians and their voters, doesn’t it?
She wasn’t even in the top 22. Number 1 on the list, Tommy F. Robinson, a Republican with 996 checks. Four more and he’d have gotten a toaster!
If a Pub had not disclosed this, most Dems would have been outraged.
Nancy Pelosi: “culture of corruption.” Pubs of course.
Barbarz Boxer: $500K to her son’s PR firm.
Culture of corruption?
Both sides are crooks. I admit that. Yet, do you excuse Boxer’s behavior – which is so apparently obviously wrong? What about the other crooks that are currently in office? Excuse their behavior because the Republicans were just as bad? Maybe, if the country is lucky, we will knock out the entrenched crooks in both parties and elect those who will do the right thing for a change. Maybe, if we can quick excusing our party’s behavior by blaming the other, we can have a government that we can be proud of and can trust to do what is right for the entire country instead of lining their pockets. And maybe the next Speaker of the House won’t be lying when he/she says that the corruption will be cleaned out of government.
Ah, the sniveling “Waaaa, everybody else is just as dishonest as I am” defense, or the whining “they’re almost as slimy as I am” ploy.
Um yeah, that’ll work, fool.
That only works with smarmy, liberal, activist judges, you jackass.
What our nation needs is a “Puritan” as Attorney General… One who will not compromise in prosecuting crooks. One who will confiscate the prisoners’ assets and make restitution to the “offended parties.” A prosecutor who will root out all unethical gain robbed from taxpayers (even if a weak case of “legality” can be made,) and who will also call for appreciable prison time for corrupt politicians.
Also, this “Puritanical Proscutor” should ferret out any co-conspirators who were bribed or “granted” political gifts to further their nefarious and mutual actions.
The tax dollars of Americans were never intended to be doled out by those in power (or seeking power.” The dollars these scoundrels had the authority to collect and dispense were provided “in trust” by US tax-payers. Our “representatives” were endowed with a fiduciary responsiblity and are accountable for any and all breaches of that stewardship.
There is something “righteous” in labeling unscrupulous politicians and bureaucrats “convicts,” then requiring them to “make license plates” and consume “standard prison food.”
..There’s a “redemptive” element in locking up these “simple,” common thieves in “non-white collar,” iron-barred cells for 10-15 years. Using tax dollars to fund these kind of consequences meted out to dishonest “public servants” is one kind of “public expenditure” many Americans would gladly finance.
But, lest they “return to their evil ways,” forever remove their privileges of US citizenship, even after they are released back into society….. They should be on continued probation and subject to arrest and re-imprisonment until they re-pay the US treasury every dime they have purloined. “Forced servitude” you say? Isn’t that what they said they wanted to do… serve their fellow Americans?
“Rehabilitation”? Let’s discuss that after they have “made right” those they robbed. You say they may have to “keep paying” for the rest of their lives? Pity! They chose to saddle our grandchildren with the bill for their “benevolence.” Let our grandchildren grant them pardon!
David W., you have captured in a nutshell WHAT THE TEA PARTY IS ALL ABOUT!
(said in a Maxwell Smart voice) AHH…the old “you did a bad thing so I can be as evil as I want” trick!
This is not logic. This is a 2-year old’s pooping on the floor…WE HERE KNOW IT AIN’T SHINOLA, Dennis.
Until you grow up, peddle your tripe elsewhere.
Ah, yes, Little Dennis, property includes land, money, gold, Treasury notes, campaign ads and signs that say “Call Me Senator,you *sshole!!
Public education. Brainless trolls.
Projection and denial are the definitive symptoms of the psychotic.
Fascissocialist Derangement is a psychosis.
Off your meds, are you, Duckie?
Perhaps you could contact Ms. Schiller for the approved list of meds.
There is no such thing as an illegal war – especially when congress authorized the use of force.
Robbed blind by no-bid contract? You mean like the lefts wonderful 8A status programs which hand out contracts to middle men who run up the price and then sub out the work to whoever? Failed economics? You mean like the lefts policies of massive over regulation that requires and encourages ridiculously risky lending?
And you can keep bleeting out “illegal war” until you fall over. It’s nonsense.
We can try harder all day long, but no level of effort will ever crack through the denseness of the leftist fantasy world.
You mean a ‘no bid contract’ process that was established during the Clinton years?
Hey, Dennis, who crapped in your skull and forgot to flush?
Sweatt,
Robbed blind? Didn’t know Barney Frank and his Fannie Mae lover were Republicans? Closet Republicans, who could have guessed. Sickening level of arrogance.
Democrats have eliminated no bid contracts? Right. To be fair, no bid contracts are often the only way to go. So I won’t hold that against the Dems. As I won’t be too upset over the continuation of wire taps, the assassination of terrorist via hell Fire and CIA renditions of high value dirt bags. Miss your buddies?
The socialist policies of the Obomber administration have greatly exacerbated what would have otherwise been a common recession. So, go pound sand on that one.
My guess, any war against your Bathist or Islamist buddies would be illegal in your mind. You and your Bund-party-MoveOn operative types are all collaborators with the most depraved movements in history. Sweattt…carry on baby.
Hey when you are on the losing side of any war then to you it is “illegal!
…no bid contracts…Issued under the authorizing law passed by Congress;
…failed economics…4.6% unemployment in Jan-07 when the Dems took control of Congress, now 9.7% (or 17% if you believe 60-Minutes);
…illegal war…Authorized by the Congress of the United States under the Authorization for the Use of Military Force in Afghanistan (2001), and the Authorization for the Use of Military Force in Iraq (2002).
You may now go back to sleep.
“Illegal wars” ? Like the ones that Kerry and the rest of the Democrats voted for ? Those illegal wars ?
I’ll grant you this; Barbara Boxer sang “From a distance” as her contribution to the debate on the first Gulf War.
Fortunately for you, IQ tests are no longer a legal requirement to vote.
Good grief !
“No bid contracts,” do you mean like the ones that went to Haliburton?, more specifically the Brown and Root divison of Haliburton? You know, the Brown and Root company owned by Lady Bird Johnson which joined Haliburton just in time to get lots of “no-bid” contracts during Vietnam? The same Brown and Root still owned predominately by Lady Bird’s family that got no-bid contracts in Yugoslavia under Clinton? Those “no bid-contracts”?
The “failed economics” that increased the number of jobs right up until the Dems took over congress? Those “failed economics”?
The fulfillment of UN obligations completely ignored by Clinton in Iraq and the the retribution for an attack on US soil assisted by the Taliban in Afghanistan? Those illegal wars?
Not even a nice try. Can you people not ever come up with something original?
Dennis you have indeed stepped in the big pile just as most all liberal do, perhaps you could commit hari kari and get it over with cause your argument or in this case statement really was an act of suicide, you need to get some logic before you make such stupid and easily ridiculed statements.
You might do better with the moonbats at Daily KOS or HoffPost…as it has already been seen that you are an asshat!
@ Steve,
“hari kari…”
…that’s Hara Kiri, a.k.a. Sepukku, Japanese ritual suicide to efface a disgrace or failure, (by those with a sense of honor, clearly not the current Regime)…
…not Harry Carey, a sports announcer,
or Hairy Carry, a concealed weapon in your underwear…
Three words for you, Dennis: Community Reinvestment Act.
Aw, shoot – here’s three more: Cloward-Piven strategy.
Take your time. Mull it over and get back to us…
We are sick of the corruption in both parties. At least the Republicans are willing to clean their own house. Just look at Murkowski in Alaska. The Democrats use moral relativity to justify their low ethical standards. Just because you have a ‘D’ after your title does not give you a pass.
Art of War and Warfare:
I received an email from a conservative friend of mine who lives in the People’s Republic of California and he was discussing the current administration and their bungling diplomacies, etc. and discussing chess as a game to plan war strategies, etc. I responded to my good friend with the following and entitled it the Art Of Warfare:
Exactly Doc–First of all, if you find it necessary to go to war, you then have to have as your goal, winning the war. Then, you make a plan. Then, you implement your plan. If your plan is not working, regroup and figure out why said plan did not work, and then make necessary adjustments to said plan, and act on it. And like in any planning, only scrap what does not work, keep what was working well, and then get on with the plan until your goal is achieved. If your original assessment was that war was not only the right thing to do and thus necessary, then you owe it to the cause of good and to your soldiers and to your citizens and allies to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy you found it necessary to go to war with to begin with. And, to date, in history, no wars that involved the forces of perceived good and evil, has the war been won with words and diplomacy. Diplomacy comes after you have defeated your enemy and you let the enemy know what his future rules of civility are going to be if you have any vested interest and right to be involved with his country to begin with. And, if what you are telling the enemy what his rules of civility are going to be, you have to be sure that what those rules are, are acceptable to what the majority of the citizens of said nation want. And, if you do not have the people on your side, maybe you should not be there to begin with, unless the only way to keep the nation from being an aggressor is to occupy them and keep them in check. And, with a place like the middle east where you have Muslim Regimes, who have 20th and 21st century technologies and 10th century BC mentalities, you either have to take away their technologies or capabilities of using said technologies when it comes to warfare technologies. Or, if you are not willing to do this, then you must make sure that you keep their leaders in Check to insure that they will never use those technologies against their neighbors or against any other non-aggressor nation. If the war in Iraq was necessary, then it is our responsibility now to stay in the area long enough to finish the job in the region and that may require the permanent occupation of Iraq with permanent bases to keep the Iranians and other hostiles in perpetual Check Mate. In the meantime, if part of our reason for being there is OIL because we need it, then we need to lessen the need for their oil by extracting and using our own oil which, according to our own geologists, we have plenty of it. And, as a nation, we cannot allow a group of enviro-whack jobs who have their own personalized goals and beliefs and agendas to keep us from extracting our own energy resources wherever those resources are located. And, also, when the enviro-whack jobs are endangering national security, these whack jobs need to be investigated and see which of our other enemies are they either knowingly or unknowingly colluding with. The Liberal Mindset in this country at the highest levels of power is the greatest national security threat this nation faces. And, many of them are knowingly colluding with our enemies, while, I am sure that most of them are just unknowing and ignorant pawns who go along to get along for their own selfish needs for power and approval of the powers that be. Looking at the makeup of our congress, I have never seen such an amassed group of fools and incompetents, who are able to wield so much power with an unlimited Checking Account. The current makeup of our leadership in this country is the biggest assortment of fools, lunatics, incompetents, criminals, subversives, perverts and enemy spies that I have ever witnessed. You could not plan and implement a More Perfect Storm for Disaster than what we have assembled in our government today. And, if we do not recognize this current congress and president for what and who they are, and remove them at the ballot box, and then begin to Down Size their Powers and the Abilities for them to Make another Mess of the sort they have already created, our days as a free an sovereign people living in a free and sovereign nation are numbered. This current government and it’s leadership are in bed with our enemies and in some cases, our enemies are already in positions of power in our government. The downsizing of government is absolutely necessary, and by downsizing, I mean the elimination of some of the major Agencies, Bureaus, Commissions, and Departments that do no good at all and in fact, are doing great harm to our country. And, along with these Major Unconstitutional ABCD’s of Bureaucracy, you eliminate the thousands of Tentacles of these major Bureaucracies that are spread out all over the nation like a massive root ball in a potted plant when the plant outgrows the pot. The major war we now face as a nation is the war at home. And, the citizenry of this nation have to be awakened and educated to the fact that our current government is beyond incompetent, they are criminally and suicidally incompetent. And, if we do not Win The War at home, we will continue to play into the hands of our enemies, and we will deliver the weapons and tools that our enemies will take and then destroy us and our allies with. This is the case in the middle east now. Iran is still using technologies that we gave them. The Iran we have today is the creation of Feel Good Incompetents in this government, both present and past. You can go back to Jimmy Carter, who was another incompetent warm and fuzzy president who had drank the communist kool-aid, and see how his policies put the Islamic Lunatics in power who toppled the Shah who was the head of an elected and civilized society. And, you can mark Jimmy Carter’s Presidency as the Beginning of this Islamic Terrorist War that we are still fighting today. Today, we can win the war at home with words that educate and awaken The Masses of Americans who are ignorant and are kept that way by our MSM, Hollywood, Politicians and the Public Schools. We have to end the Official Brainwashing, Lying and Propaganda Campaigns that have been waged on this country by our very so-called leaders, and tell folks what is really going on. It is my firm belief as an educator, that people make much better decisions when they are armed with the truth and good information. Mostly what the citizens of our country are being fed today are Lies, Propaganda, and Dis-Information, and it is my belief that the majority of these Lies, Propaganda and Dis-Information is being disseminated purposely by Our Leaders and the MSM and Hollywood is providing the Megaphone to Broadcast these Lies, Propaganda and Dis-Information. And, the majority of the citizens, are merely pawns who have Bought The Lies and believe the lies to be truths, and therefore are making daily decisions based on what they believe to be facts, when in fact, they have been lied to deliberately and dumbed down deliberately by the powers that be. The Liberal Democrats and other Nefarious Enemies of our Freedoms know the level of ignorance and illiteracy that exists in the USA today, because they have purposely engineered this dumbing down and brainwashing campaign over the past 4 decades, and they Prey On This Ignorance, thus the Election of the Likes of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Barney Frank, Al Cee Hastings, John Lewis, Barbara Boxer, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and the rest of the Capitol Hill Gang of thugs, thieves, subversives, perverts, communists and other assorted misfits, criminals, and deadbeats. And, many of them are also Lawyers, who through the writing of laws that only lawyers can understand, are perpetuating the incompetency at the highest levels of government as they perpetuate their own legalistic and litigious culture. What America Needs to Hear is Common Sense spoken In Language that anybody can understand, and what Americans need is Good, Honest and Factual Information. Armed with Good Information, Most Americans, in spite of the decades of dumbing down and brainwashing, will make better decisions. The Only Way to Defeat Our Current Government is to Expose This Government and The Criminals and Incompetents that are perpetuating it. And, you do this by Telling The Public The Truth. Americans Can Handle The Truth if give an opportunity to See and Hear the Truth. It is not that most Americans believe the lies they are being told today, it is just that most Americans today, do not trust what anybody says as they have become cynical and believe that They All Lie, so what’s the difference???? Well, the difference is this: We now have a Marxist President who was Elected By An Illiterate Populace who Believed His Lies and Who Voted in a Politically Correct Way as opposed to Having An Incompetent President if we had elected John McCain. But, the difference is that John McCain’s patriotism and love of this nation cannot be questioned, whereas Mr. Obama’s love of this country can be questioned, and should be questioned based on his past and present words and deeds. Some say that in elections, you only select the lesser of 2 evils, but what you wind up with is still Evil. But, I can assure you that given the difference in evils of Obama and McCain, I will pick McCain’s Mamby Pamby Incompetence anyday of the week over Obama’s Direct Subversion and Hatred of the U.S.A. and our standing in the nation, which he seems to be determined to tear down. Thanks–Have a good day. Jerome
Wow, Grey: “Well, the difference is this: We now have a Marxist President who was Elected By An Illiterate Populace…”
No wonder we are illiterate. We are eagerly awaiting the invention of the paragraph.
I will second that.
I second that too.
By non-marked paragraph three, I stopped reading.
“paragraph: a distinct passage of text, dealing with one particular point of the subject . . . beginning on a new, usually indented line.” (Canadian Oxford Dictionary)
Greyhawk, paragraphing is user-friendly and makes it more likely that people will read what you write. Try it!
You know, Greyhawk could be a lonely, nice, little, old man who is a shut-in or a patient in a nursing home somewhere …, and who just wants to have a pleasant conversation with some nice people.
So show some patience and think about someone else besides yourself for a change. Geezez, but you’re tedious. Did it occur to you that you could have just hurt Greyhawk’s feelings?
third and fourth that..my eyes went crazy.. why do you guys put stuff like this up> It might be great but we’ll never know
‘Good point, sally.
I used to moderate blog entries at another site: I always paragraphed an entry like Greyhawk’s. Most other moderators had neither the time nor the inclination to do that. I altogether understand, but I’m a grammar convention junkie and, literally, couldn’t put up a post like Greyhawk’s until it was cleaned up.
But, now that I’m not moderating, I’ve got a lot more time to make posts!
Fred -and all the rest- Me,too. I need white space.
What are you trying to say?
I find it fascinating that the only comments the people who disagree with the points Greyhawk made is that he should have paragraphed the posting. Guess when you can’t refute what the man says you have to take what little you can get and hope nobody notices how threadbare your arguments are.
dick, you’ve missed the point, the point being that many of us didn’t bother to read a post that, physically, made our heads spin and our eyes cross.
Packaging is important. If Greyhawk has something important to say, he/she should have the courtesy to make it readily accessible to his/her audience.
The paragraphing convention has been around a long time. It’s not just window dressing: it enhances comprehension—and in this case, the wish to even read the post. Paragraphing is the responsibility of the writer—not the reader!
No, lookout, Dick didn’t miss the point. YOU are the one who is shallow, obtuse, boorish and clueless.
I’m sure you read Greyhawk’s post, beginning to end. Probably didn’t take a breath, all the way through.
Others of us need paragraphs, if only to give our brains a millisecond-pause.
OK, dick, I’ve done a quick edit to paragraph Greyhawk’s post, so now I know what’s in it. Basically, I agree with this person’s outlook, though I believe it could have been expressed more succinctly!

Some say that in elections, you only select the lesser of 2 evils, but what you wind up with is still Evil. But, I can assure you that given the difference in evils of Obama and McCain, I will pick McCain’s Mamby Pamby Incompetence anyday [sic] of the week over Obama’s Direct Subversion and Hatred of the U.S.A. and our standing in the nation, which he seems to be determined to tear down. Thanks–Have a good day. Jerome

Good for you,Dick;These elitist computer geeks,on this site,are control freaks,void of common sense.Who couldn’t get past two pages,of a book without losing interest.they are less concerned with content,truth facts,and common sense,and more concerned,with computer geekery,Like their elitist hero type professors,such as Barack insane Obama.that has to have everything read to them off a computer monitor,That say’s; “Words,just Words”The good news is their socio-pathic Elitist attitudes,have no altitude in real life.
Hey, jimmy joe, this “computer geek” (NOT) spelled it out for Greyhawk.
Your comment here is utter poppycock.
lookout, sweety poo
You’re nervy, pretentious, presumptuous and too self-absorbed.
You remind me of someone whose own life is a disaster, but who tells everybody else how they should run their lives.
But hey, now that you’ve been a website monitor, you can put that on your resume when you apply for a job for which a decadent dilettante of your stature would be more eminently qualified …, you know, like perhaps a washroom attendant or a cigar store wooden indian?
Without the use of paragraphs, this comment is unreadable.
Word-salad.
Deadly walls of text crits you for 1000 damage.
LOL!!! I take it that had something to do with Warcraft. I almost fell over laughing that hard.
Greyhawk is nothing more than a particularly verbose and paragraph-averse spammer.
See the same comment on another recent thread.
May I please ask the management to take appropriate action?
Don’t you guys know anything? All those ethics thingies only apply to little people.
Oh,oh…………..Wait til the CBC gets ahold of this, why is the white girl getting a pass? Why are only black senators facing investigation? The back-bites will soon begin.
Nice digs: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=854+Longridge+Road,+Oakland,+CA&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.111473,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=854+Longridge+Rd,+Oakland,+Alameda,+California+94610&ll=37.809454,-122.235477&spn=0.001088,0.001206&t=h&z=20&layer=c&cbll=37.809442,-122.235576&panoid=pIivEAERlOiA3F9Poseekg&cbp=12,344.53,,0,-0.61
Appears to be in the Piedmont section of Oakland. Very ritzy neighborhood. But not the nicest area of Piedmont. She’s a bit down the hill from the super expensive area.
D’ya suppose she will admit that she didn’t report the property because she was embarrassed by the neighborhood? A little like when Clinton lied about Monica because he didn’t want to hurt his family? See, everyone will understand when they realize you lied for a good reason. (As long as you’re a Democrat.)
Sounds like grounds for a RICO charge, as well….
If anybody thinks Eric Holder is going to do anything about this, they are as delusional as the idiots that elected her. Remember the State of Arizina is one thing a Democrat is an all together different thing.The Department of Injustice works in mysterious ways.
I believe AZsmitty has something. where is the Black Caucus and lets fiorina. Boxer the Maam hater should be held accountable and soon. She is no better then Rangel or waters and should be held as responsible as they. Burn the crook and get that rotten apple out of the basket along with any others we may find
Small potatoes, Roger. But I share your hope that they cook up into a savory dish.
boxer needs to be voted out of office first…then criminal charges.otherwise it will all go away…sos…move along…nothing to see here
Mr. Simon:
“If Barbara Boxer is returned to the Senate, she will resume her position as chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. It is she who will preside over investigations into the ethical behavior of our senators.”
Y’know, it occurs to me that the psychological and emotional self-inflicted traumas of following what passes for politics in California makes getting stoned and contemplating grasshopper antennae a pretty reasonable and pragmatic response.
If THIS is your reality, then it’s perfectly understandable why you would wish a few hours’ escape from it, man.
Just sayin’…
I’ve got another reaction to “If Barbara Boxer is returned to the Senate, she will resume her position as chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. It is she who will preside over investigations into the ethical behavior of our senators.”
Actually, this is true only if she’s returned to the Senate AND the Senate stays Dem. Now how’s this: what if she’s returned to the Senate and it goes GOP? She won’t chair the committee, but will the new GOP Senate investigate her? Okay, never mind that scenario. Will anyone in the senate make a little noise?
Ethics Cmte’s are allegedly non-partisan, in that they have an equal number of D’s & R’s.
If “Mam” is returned to the Senate, and the Senate would change hands, she would be the Vice-Chair of the Cmte most likely – unless she declined to serve on the cmte this term.
The “allegedly” I’m concerned with is Republicans in the Senate. Will anyone pursue this?
It’s not just the nondisclosure; it’s the REASON for nondisclosure. Obviously that’s only the tip of the climate change-threatened iceberg. Did she use campaign cash from Countrywide to pay off Countrywide mortgages on these properties?
BTW, that’s SENATOR Scumbucket to you!
The Climategate revelations coupled with false claims in the IPCC reports didn’t move one neuron one iota inside Boxer’s head, didn’t introduce one shred of doubt into her slavish belief in AGW.
She is too typical of the kind of “thinking” we have driving decisions on Capitol Hill.
You probably saw this Zucker video, but it’s funny a second time
Given the AG’s treatment of Arizona, it’s border security problem, illegal immigration and the Black Panther voter intimidation case should we expect this investigation of SENATOR Boxer to actually take place? I wouldn’t bet the farm.
I wouldn’t bet my lunch money.
Plus, the NRSC has put out a new ad going after Boxer’s support among women.
http://www.bluecollarphilosophy.com/2010/10/new-nrsc-ad-says-nothing-will-change-if.html
Do women want fewer opportunities to work in California? If they do, then vote for Barbara Boxer. Do women who, work at home taking care of their children, want their husbands to struggle providing for them? If they do, then vote for Barbara Boxer. Do women think that extreme environmental concerns ought to stop good paying jobs coming to California? If they do, then vote for Barbara Boxer. Do women like the fact that 144 companies have left California this year? If they do, then vote for Barbara Boxer.
I hope this is the year we rid ourselves of the “Senator”.
Looks like it’s Halloween, see the ghosts – thanks Google streetview!

Why are we surprised, in a Socialist controled government, the gods at the top always scrape the goodies for themselves. Why do you think they work and lie so much to keep control of you and me as well as the government.
It appears to me as if Sen. Boxer co-signed her son’s mortgage; let’s not get all NPR here.
There is a greater problem in this country,That unfortunetely most americans are still not willing to address.Which is the war between good,and evil.Why?I suppose, its the fact that most americans believe there is a god,He is good,and has influence,and power if we call on him faithfully regarding the corrupt nature of mankind.But his greatest good is free will.Giving every individual,and people their own power,and influence to choose for themselves,their own outcomes,in life.But God gave to us a set of standards to follow,and live by,and to not,Is to eventually lead to the destruction of society,and humanity.Because with-out those standards applied to each of us,To voluntarily follow for the best interest of all.Truth,Equality,Life,Liberty,Rights,And Justice for all,Cannot co-exist,With those who follow;”Lucifer’s Law”To have their lives,liberties,rights,hate,and revenge,Exalted above God,humanity,rule of law/standards,human life,human liberty,human rights,and human justice.Many of us don’t want to face these truths because we are all closely related,and connected to those we love that are intentionally or blindly activist for,”Lucifers Law”Even those we believe are representing,our standards of qualifications.Such as karl rove,charles krauthammer,and the republican senate national commitee,Sabotaging christine o’donnell,And still are to salvage their self-serving ego’s.Where money,power,and strategy,must trump principals,and standards,In their world view,like democrats,it is better to win with liars,thieves,and backstabbers,then possibly lose with honor dignity,standards,and principals in tact.These are the same people who wanted barack obama to succeed,said he was a great man,Who was a patriot,That loved this country,and had nothing but the greatest intentions for this country.If only they would have put,one tenth of their support behind christine o’donnell’s campaign,As they did their slobbering love affair with barack obama.Christine o’donnell would win by a landslide.but no,The establishment elite,still is refusing to get behind her to satisfy,and prop-up their own egos.Names;karl rove,charles krauthammer,newt gingrich,mike huckabee,mitt romney,mitch mcconell,john boehner,all were on the slobbering love affair groupie train for barack obama.when true conservatives,saw him for who he was.like sean hannity,mark levin,rush limbaugh,ann coulter,michelle malkin,and politicians like sara palin,michelle bachman,jim demint,and mike pence,saw him for who,and what he is,and stands for. while the establishment is either still throwing true conservatives under the bus,or are are now riding the political sunami wave against liberalism.the better late,than never republicans.when in truth they are either politically incorrect cowards,or political leaders with no vision for america,and no judgement,for Bad character.Which are the two most important qualifications to lead this country,In these trying times.All in all,these political leaders,like too many americans,may claim themselves believers.But continually prove themselves incapabable,or unwilling to apply these necessary qualifications to be a leader.1.Vision,2.Principals 3.Character 4.Judgement 5.Honor 6.Truth 7.Responsibility 8.Influence 9.Transparency 10.Accountability.Without these nothing changes,for the better. many believe in the power,And influences,of natures laws,and natures god.But too many refuse to believe,or acknowledge the power,influence,and lawless natures of god’s adversary;”Lucifer,and Lucifer’s Laws”And lucifer’s Flock.At least liberals,and other satan worshipping,religious fanatics,Know who god’s,and jesus christ’s true chosen believers are.

Greyhawk @ #5: Will you please elaborate on your comments?
Where have I seen Jimmy Joe’s writing style before? It looks so familiar.
Seriously, Greyhawk/JimmyJoe, and all kidding aside, those were good, well-thought-out comments.
Grammar is secondary to content. (Well, except, presumably, to that one gay grammarian who recently posted here. You know, the one who misspelled Mohammedans?)
I couldn’t have cared less if you had run all of your words together into one humungously long word with multiple spelling errors. (Which isn’t to say that you should try it.)
“Grammar is secondary to content.”
Yeah, I’d say that’s a casual—a very casual—observation: all agree i don’t you with at.
How’s that for grammar being secondary to content? Content and grammar actually go hand in hand. (That’s a metaphor.) Sheesh.
As the Professor said in “The Magician’s Nephew”: “Bless me, what do they teach them at these schools?”
(Actually, C.S. Lewis answers that question in “The Abolition of Man”.)
(yawn) whatever
Barbara the Bruce.
Lands, titles, men, power, nothing.
The culture of corruption in the cabal of conceit has reached its nadir. Boxer, Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Reid…all washing each other’s backs, while they hide terrorists through fake marriages, hide their “friends of Angelo” sweetheart mortgages, hide their significant others at Fannie and Freddie, hide the cooking of the books at Fannie and Freddie, …the stench wafting up from the sewer of Hubris Hedonism.
Interested in titles and in being called by their overlord appellations, while they divvy up the spoils and we suffer the slings and arrows of their conceit. We, the people…don’t understand just how benevolent they have been …tossing us those crusts and crumbs, while they feast on our taxes and tariffs.
The largess, Roger…”is that all you got”, coming from the mouths of their lackeys and minions. And the hidden truths buried deeply by the water carriers in their pocket who have been traitors to the cause of truth for so long now.
Titles, land, power. Nothing.
For if you have no honor, you have nothing. Barbara the Bruce. Time for you to leave.
…the why and wherefore of the Ruling Class – the warp and woof of graft.
A foundation wants her investigated. Ergo, she won’t be investigated.
Nobody has yet convinced me that Republican politicians don’t do this kind of thing in equal measure. What we have in all these articles is basically the following statement – ‘the other guys are even more corrupt and immoral than our guys: vote for our guys.’
Okay. In the real world, I can accept that. But neither Roger nor most of the hard-core Repub partisans here ever address the reasons for the immorality all around. You can’t raise capitalism, the acquisition of property and wealth, etc., as primary rationales for life itself and then expect that people won’t abuse the process (of acquiring wealth, etc.).
You mean greed, graft, corruption and the flagrant abuse of power only happens in capitalist societies?
When, oh when, will we finally embrace the pure Utopia of Socialist Central Planning? How many more children will have to suffer, wallowing in the mud of Immoral Capitalist Abundance, before we finally see the light and follow in the footsteps of our Russian, Chinese, Cuban, North Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian and East German Comrades? Upwards and Onward into the Brave New World! You have nothing to lose but your chains…, and your guns…, and your money…, and you’ve no use for that Bible…, and that property thing is sooo bourgeois (don’t worry, we’ll take real good care of it)…, and your children will be attending a very special boarding school now…, and, well really, your life was worth warm spit anyway.
But hey, its all worth it to get rid of that nasty Capitalist Corruption. Now fetch me my dinner, slave, and be quick about it.
Amen!
Larry, I’m a GDI…and I truly don’t understand your point.
Is there not enough of a watchdog over every conceivable misstep by non-Democrats out in the public sphere?
Or are you saying that we should “just expect it, it comes with capitalism”?
Because if so, I take issue with both points of view. The fact that leftists have controlled the narrative through the distortions and vile acts of omission and commission by their water carriers in their pocket, makes this site a smidgen of scale balancing.
To suggest either that “it’s expected” and therefore ok…is simply not acceptable to me. To suggest that the duty here is to put our thumbs on the scales in order to favor the favored…is patently unfair.
If those aren’t your points, then I apologize and will respond if you decide to clarify them. That’s up to you, of course.
I think what Larry is getting at is that corruption is a problem on both sides of the aisle. Generally the approach is this:
- Dems gnash their teeth about corrupt Republicans and ignore stories of corrupt Democrats.
- Repubs gnash their teeth about corrupt Democrats and ignore stories of corrupt Republicans.
Maybe a different approach would be more constructive?
No, if you will notice the Republicans get rid of those who trespass. How many can you think of who got away with this from the Republican side without getting canned. For the Dems they just keep letting it pass until it is so bad that they have no other option that getting rid of the legislator. Even then it takes years (think Dan Rostenkowski and currently Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters).
Really? David Vitter? John Ensign? Ever hear of those guys?
Let’s add in Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. He voluntarily resigned for violating the rules. His terrible crime of corruption? He took money for… wait for it… teaching a class! He was taking money to teach! How DARE he?!?
The petty violations of the Republicans do not compare to the grand larceny of the Democrats.
You want scrupulous? No male Republican Congressman will have a meeting with a female lobbyist with the doors closed. Never. Doesn’t happen. The female lobbyists complain about this….
The Pubbies have really cleaned up their act in this regard. It has been many years since even a whiff of scandal involving a Republican has come to light. That’s because the partisan press would tear them apart. Which I am down with.
I just wish they were just as vicious to the Dems. If they were, we would not have the current mess. The 4th Estate has failed, and so is also being replaced, along with the vile people it has been shilling for.
More often than not, Larry In Silicon doesn’t have a point. But what is even more weird is the frequency with which other people here agree with him. This place is spooky.
No, what you have here is a blatant disregard for the law by the head of the Ethics Committee, the committee which is charged with enforcing the laws regard what is permissible and what is not and investigating those who bread the rules. She not only broke the rules; she stomped on them with hobnailed boots repeatedly.
Doesn’t matter whether anyone else broke the rules. The one charged with enforcing them broke them. She has to go, no ifs, ands or buts.
Or are you saying we should set a thief to catch a thief. If that what you really believe is the right way to handle this kind of situation? If so, I would suggest you take a good look at your ethics standards and review them toute suite. There is a whole lot missing in them.
Typical Leftist “nothing to see here, everyone does it” post. NONSENSE!
Barbara “don’t call me ma’am” Boxer just forgot the little housey. Most people in her position forget houses, people like Senator Dodd. Remember when A.I.G. tanked and it was bailed out because so many Senators and Congress Critters were heavily invested, wasn’t Boxer involved in that also, I remember Pelosi lost $500,000 but recouped when the bail out came. If they are multi-termed political thugs they have to be voted out, its going to be very close whether our country will survive these people. Of the 191 countries in the world over 75% of them would have most of our congress up against the wall or doing life.
It is one thing if her name is on the mortgage as a co-signer. It is another thing if her name is on the title.
Unless, of course, the mortgage was ever by Countrywide and at a sweet heart rate, she should be strung up.
It is time for BofA to completely disclose the mortgage records from Countrywide as to who in the government had less-than-market-rate mortgages – politicians, bureaucrats, and Capitol-Hill staff. Especially those on the Friends of Angelo list!
How dare you extreme right-wing extremists attack her! She worked hard to get that house! It’s just a thing she has…you know…
Greyhawk; my good friend’s name is Blackhawk (given by me) do you know him? I understand the lack of paragraphs (jimmyjoe too) as you just get to writing and can’t stop or edit…
I read both entries (sure must be lots of people who need more to do like me) and not to worry….Obama will be stopped or at least no more HC or Fin Reg monstrosities. The wife says it’s going to be a whole new congress and it will be. Obama is the best thing to happen as we know what the abyss (or the enemy) looks like and it is us.
Contrary to what some write, I believe that we’re approaching a period in the USA that will be compared to the Renaissance or our own civil war. And we will flourish as a result.
Of course the alternative is to put your head between your legs and kiss your *** bye-bye…
Trouble or not, one thing’s for SURE…NO ONE will hear anything about it until AFTER the election.
Justice department guidelines discourage the opening of an investigation this close to an election, so don’t look for any action on this immediately. The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service has only been around a year. They don’t really have any pull, and they’re not a household name by any stretch. The “Breaking” aspect of this story is a bit over-dramatic, so yes, we probably won’t hear much about this over the next couple weeks.

Silly Roger – don’t you know that rules are for the little people? (Certainly not for such well-connected DemocRats as Boxer.)
Why isn’t Boxer being indicted for aiding an enemy of our country during war? She is part of the Fallujah Four, a group of congressmen and senators who wrote the President on behalf of Code Pink. Through her efforts the US Marines halted their assault on Fallujah so Code Pink could send in medical supplies and money for the residents of the city. The only problem was that the residents had evacuated the city because of warning of the imminent attack as long as thirty days prior. Instead these supplies and money went to aid the Talliban in their fight against us. Code Pink is a Soros sponsored left wing organization which works against the interests of this country and Israel. She should join those who fight against us at Guantonimo.
Babs is into writing letters, like, if you will recall, the one which she and other extreme left-wing (progressive) Democrats sent to President Ronald Reagan, proclaiming their strong support for the Sandinista (communist) rebels in Nicaragua, and strenuously objecting to Reagan’s support of the Contras. I suspect that she is infatuated with Hugo Chavez and with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, too. You realize, don’t you, that she is nuttier than a fruitxake? I mean, loony big time. Certifiably cuckoo. Mad as a hatter. Like Obama.
Wow. I am not American, but feel for the straits the country is in. I have always admired it for the relevance and quality of debate within it in conducting its affairs. Since George Bush’s second term, however, America seems to have ‘lost it’.
Take the current issue for instance: If its all about corruption, I am surprised so many sharp minds noticed non-declaration by a democrat of one-fourth of a house effectively owned by her son while ‘forgetting’the corruption on a galactic scale of the previous regime.
Take the Spew on Obama, for instance: Collapse of the financial institutions associated the housing industry were announced at the end of Bush’s term. Obviously the effects of the crisis of confidence will follow- how audacious of you guys to stick Obama with it! Commitments on the bail-out too were made by Bush, how come that sticks on Obama? because he did not behave like a puritan republican and let the banks die? (would collapse of of a large number of its banks be an ‘ordinary recession’?)
If the Iraq war was authorized by congress on the basis of lie, that still makes it illegal, at least politically incorrect. No country is going to say, “oops, we made a mistake..” so the difference is irrelevent.
The war was/is expensive relative to the welfare on which a lot of energy is expended debating.
The war was corruption, started to steal oil resources on a bad pretext, profiteering by cronies in high office; the resources were siezed not for America but for the oil interests, the replenishment of US strategic oil reserves at very high cost profited the oil companies at the expense of the tax payer and oil consumer AND put plenty of $$ at the disposal of its enemies.
Wierd that this corruption is being condoned by conservatives. I can’t figure whether its ideological capitalism or racism at work.
The shipping of manufacturing overseas was republican scheme. So you know who is responsible for America’s destitution.
I sense that most on this board are republican. Why don’t you just agree that you made a mistake – global ‘free’ trade is not good for America, not good for its security, and just ask Obama to raise import duties instead of income tax…
Mr. Simon writes, “If Barbara Boxer is returned to the Senate, she will resume her position as chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. It is she who will preside over investigations into the ethical behavior of our senators.”
If Barbara Boxer is returned to the Senate, she will not resume her position as chair of any committee if the Democrats no longer control the Senate.
She will be powerless, and will be left to gnash her capped teeth and tear out her color-augmented hair as she witnesses her own demise at the hands of the colleagues whom she treated with such contempt.
Surprise Surprise! Now make is stick to her and vote her old tail end out of office next week! All the voting machines are serviced by seiu and we see that these machines are already voting for the lib candidates…you don’t see that with the GOP…so we see how low the libs want to stay in power…you are all gone next week you liberal terrorists!

it is time for the united states citizens to take back our country. To long have we stood by and let the government walk all over us. The senate and congress are as crooked as a mountain highway. Not only that, they are using social security for their own use. It was set up for us to pay into for our retirement and not to be used for any thing else. So much for that!
The senior citizens are paying for what should have been included in the social security benifits. I guess you know where that is going. It is time to take back our government. 28 years is to long to let anyone stay in office. We need a set time for them to try to make a difference. If they don’t do a good job,vote them out. All of them. Start fresh. If the new ones don’t straighten things up, vote them out, also. I am tied of our country being turned into a third world country. It has not worked for them and it won’t work here.
There are some newspaper discussion boards on TOPIX that have REMOVED this news about Boxer’s undisclosed house, even papers that endorsed Fiorina.
We CANNOT rely on the news media to do its job. This story must go viral and we must PASS THE WORD all over California!
I think the Boxers and the Clintons are in-laws. Boxer’s kid is married to Hillary’s brother’s offspring.
