CREW on Domenici's "qualified admonition": The usual lackluster performance from Senate Ethics Committee

As we reported last night, the Senate Ethics Committee gave Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) a "qualified admonition" for his role in trying to influence a U.S. Attorney about a pending case.  Domenici improperly contacted New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias about a pending public corruption investigation.

Domenici’s actions, the ethics committee nevertheless found “no substantial evidence” that Sen. Domenici attempted to improperly influence the investigation.
