| Rep. Bobby Rush receives 20 yrs of free rent from Draper & Kramer. |

| [Breitbart] Chicago Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL) My congress-critter since the redistricting... is being investigated by the House ethics committee for somehow getting his Chicago South Side congressional offices rent free for 20 years, a violation of state and federal laws not to mention House ethics standards. A new House ethics report finds that Rush escaped from having to pay upwards to $365,040 for about 20 years of rent. Escaped ? The Office of Congressional Ethics report concluded that there was "substantial reason" to assume that the free rent was an in-kind contribution that violates House ethics rules. Yes, 'substantial reason' indeed, since nothing is actually free. The OCE has referred the investigation to the House Committee on Ethics, the group that has the power to issue any rebukes. The committee now must decide if it will initiate a full investigation. I suspect a full IRS investigation might be in order as well, both Rush and Draper & Kramer if you will. |

| #2 Outside chance, but maybe he'll get some additional free rent from Club Fed. |

| #1 And since Republicans control the committee, there is a slim chance something will happen before the sun becomes a red giant. |
