Hodespocrisy- It's Mr. Crowley - Granite Grok

Hodespocrisy– It’s Mr. Crowley

Congressman Joe Crowley (D-NY) is under investigation by the Congressional Office of Ethics regarding fundraisers with lobbyists before critical votes on financial legislation.  Crowley’s investigation is focused on his departure from an amendment debate to attend a fundraiser held by Banking lobbyist Julie Domenick, after which he returned to vote against amendments that would toughen certain standards on the financial industry.

Paul Hodes knows Joe Crowley.  He accepted a $2000.00 campaign donation from Crowley’s Job’s Opportunities & Education PAC. Crowley is the DCCC’s finance chairman which is actually kind of humorous given the ethics charges against him.

Hodes also knows who Julie Domenick is as well.  Domenick hosted a fundraiser for Mr. Hodes sometime after Mr. Crowley’s incident and before the banking reform bill was passed. (see also here)

Not to worry.  Hodes will not be returning this dirty money any more than he’d return money from anyone else.  And no one in the New Hampshire Democrat Party will be crying a river over Mr. Hodes connections to a corrupt lobbyist and another corrupt member of congress.
