In a letter to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, the Kentucky Democratic Party is calling for an investigation into whether Mitch McConnell used official government resources to solicit contributions to his reelection campaign.

Mitch McConnell is no stranger to unethical behavior. In 2013, CREW summed up McConnell’s ethical issues, “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is a five-term senator from Kentucky. His ethics issues stem from his possible use of Senate staff and resources to conduct opposition research for his campaign. He was included in CREW’s 2007, 2008, and 2009 reports on congressional corruption for unrelated matters.”

The letter reads in part:

[House of Roberts]

1. It wouldn't surprise me if all the Republicans and half the Dems

violated this rule. The distinction between being legislators, as public servants, and shills for big donors, is so blurred, I doubt they can tell the difference.

2. 'Presumably, the payment was made by Senator McConnell

was made through appropriated funds'

'Presumably' isn't worth anything.

3. I don't get it: Isn't he far above the law? The Koch brothers are behind him.
