Blake, Oh Blake.
Wanna know why Blake Farenthold resigned so abruptly?
The House Ethics Committee was about to rule against Farenthold in its investigation into whether he sexually harassed members of his staff, used official money for campaign purposes and lied in previous testimony to the committee, according to the office of Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.).
The committee gave Farenthold a heads-up about its coming decision, so he quit, per Speier’s office.
He needs to be in the pokey. He does not deserve a heads up. The women he harassed did not get a heads up. He lied to a congressional committee without a heads up.
Anybody in South Texas who voted for him needs to have their voter registration card revoked.
I still want my $87,000 back.
Thanks to everybody and their Aunt Thelma for the heads up!
Is it ethical for the House Ethics Committee to provide an ethics violator advance warning that a ruling will not be in his favor?
If not legally wrong, then what about morally or, you know, ethically?
1Pajama boy still needs to make remuneration, every cent PLUS interest! Corrupt, disgusting, slimy little booger. Eeuuwwww!
2Debbo says it all. And I want 365% interest compounded daily.
3Farenthold, the corpulent cockroach, scurries back to his plush Corpus Christi legal office (101 N Shoreline Ste 300 Corpus Christi, TX); and probably gets to keep the balance in his campaign fund too (at least $125K).
Is he ENTITLED to any form of Congressional pension for his eight years of ‘service’ too (remember that in those years Blake had exactly ONE very minor bill passed into law)?
Hey, he’s put his place up for sale (he inherited it…), asking only $1,750,000 for a prime Corpus Christi Ocean Drive 2.4+ acre home (anybody familiar w/CC knows Ocean Dr is IT for real estate, fall down drooling RE). May be selling 1+ acre lot separately for more than $1M too.

(owns lots of other stuff too, farmland&minerals, his ex nicked him for a $700K+ house in 2007, bwahahaha).
Hmmm. Now that you mention all that real estate,it could be a matter of the tax man taking him down. Also, why can’t a lien be slapped on some of that property in order to get the $84,000 back where it belongs?

Just weighing in to express my support.
This man should absolutely receive some justice. Justice of the punishing kind, just the way Republicans like to do it.
6IOKIYR – The “R” can mean either “Republican” or “Rich.”
Banksters get bailed out while their employees go out with the bilge water. Then, they get bonuses. Politicians get to “spend more time with [their] family.”
I am SO TIRED of this!
