How is this connected to the FBI and the Dems, again? It seems that the party in charge of Congress (the Republicans) are just making corruption even more prevalent.
The FBI is responsible for investigating and providing evidence to federal prosecutors corruption in Congress. It's that simple.
Nope. Most of the corruption in congress is perfectly legal. They make the laws, remember?
The fact that "lobbying" is now considered a legitimate profession is...wow.

How does a toothless body that can't even declare wrong doing do anything to combat corruption?
It's a court jester. It serves no other purpose than to make the peasants feel better.
Pass some corruption laws, FFS.

Throw the word 'Ethics' in the title and immediately it becomes the most important body in DC. Doesn't matter what they actually do (or don't, in this case), as long as it says it's an ethics office, it's essential!

Yes. That's actrually their job. All the members of Congress who have been charged, convicted, and sentenced were investigated by the FBI who then recommended to federal prosecutors that the members be indicted.
The OCE apparently became nothing more than a political weapon. Which, if you think about it, is the only outcome for such a body within a legislature.

It is not clear exactly how the new proposed rules would have affected ethics investigations. . .

No, no, no, didn't you hear? They criticized her grandson,
Among the most prominent cases brought by the Office of Congressional Ethics since it was created was an investigation into Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat of California, who was accused of intervening with the Treasury Department to try to assist a struggling bank in which her husband owned stock.
Ms. Waters was ultimately cleared by the House Ethics Committee, but the committee criticized the actions of her grandson, who was then her chief of staff, and urged the House to consider broadening a ban on lawmakers’ hiring their relatives to include grandchildren.
HER FUCKING GRANDSON!
She'll think twice next time.

Yes and they urged strongly. Penner yearns for a good urging.
WTF anyway? Excuse the thing with the bank your husband has a stake in but a make a big deal of your Chief of staff bloodline, not his actions, but his lineage, thats the problem. Tits on a bull indeed.
