From the LVRJ: The Federal Election Commission has dismissed a complaint alleging Sen. John Ensign improperly paid his former campaign aide Cindy Hampton $96,000 following the discovery of their extramarital affair, according to documents made public Friday.
The allegation formed one of the legs of investigations, still ongoing in other federal bodies, into Ensign's conduct after the disclosure that the Nevada Republican had a nine-month relationship with Hampton, a family friend who also served as treasurer of his two political committees.
The charge that was filed by an ethics watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, was that a $96,000 check provided by Ensign's parents to Hampton, her husband, Doug, and two of their children in April 2008 amounted to job severance that was not reported as required to federal agencies. http://www.lvrj.com/news/federal-election-commission-won-t-punish-ensign-for-cash-to-mistress-109296314.html
Yes, the complaint was a bogus complaint from a liberal organization, but that doesn't mean you, Sen. Ensign, are qualified to be a senator in the U.S. Senate.
Resign now, sen. Ensign.
