Ryan (R-Wis.) and his leadership team had hoped to protect. That result, however, appeared largely to be the result of Trump’s intervention rather than Ryan’s maneuvering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-46640850799032671192017-01-03T22:44:45.001-05:002017-01-03T22:44:45.001-05:00"In his op-ed, Allen acknowledged that Democr..."In his op-ed, Allen acknowledged that Democrats are "sincere in their belief that decriminalizing underage prostitution is good public policy that will help victims of sex trafficking."

The dizzying about-face came as lawmakers convened for the first day of the 115th Congress, an occasion normally reserved for pomp and ceremony under the Capitol Dome. Instead, House Republicans found themselves under attack not only from Democrats but from their new president, over their secretive move Monday to neuter the independent Office of Congressional Ethics and place it under lawmakers' control. GOP leaders scrambled to contain the damage, and within hours of Trump registering his criticism on Twitter, they called an emergency meeting of House Republicans where lawmakers voted without opposition to undo the change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-71430436219685375772017-01-03T09:45:19.941-05:002017-01-03T09:45:19.941-05:00Yeah, the House Ethics Committee wouldn't even...Yeah, the House Ethics Committee wouldn't even do anything about Rep.
