The House Ethics Committee's decisions let congressmen put campaign cash in their pockets and make other allegations of misusing their offices disappear.
The purpose of the OCE is to keep the Ethics Committee honest by preventing them from sweeping matters under the rug. They do this by releasing their findings publicly.
It was only because I could see OCE’s findings that I knew there were shenanigans at the Ethics Committee. If anything, the OCE should be made stronger.
You have to wonder what precisely the purpose of the OCE is then.
It seems, under the current configuration, the purpose is to serve as a watchdog for members who can be made aware of ethics violations for the purpose of publicly evading them.
And if that's the case it should be eliminated just like it was proposed in 16' (if I'm not mistaken.)
