I don’t think it’s advisable to give an interview to media during an allegedly active investigation by the DOJ, even if you think it’s to someone who will go easy on you.
As we reported, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) admitted she was under investigation by the DOJ, which is looking into her use of campaign funds for security services.
But that didn’t stop her from talking with MSNBC’s Joy Reid. Reid only asked two questions about the investigation, but both of Bush’s answers seemed pretty silly to me.
First, Reid claimed that the independent Congressional Ethics Office cleared this matter. “How did it then proceed to an investigation by the DOJ?” she asked.
So, what happened was there is someone who made a complaint. They sent the complaint, I believe, to the FEC, which that moves really slowly, is what I hear, and so because, you know, nothing had happened, they didn’t see any…
