More from Politico:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called for an Ethics Committee investigation of Rep. John Conyers after he confirmed settling sexual harassment allegations with a former aide in 2015.
“As I have said before, any credible allegation of sexual harassment must be investigated by the Ethics Committee,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Nancy Pelosi isn’t trying to do the right thing; she’s putting on a show.

Exit reminder: Congressional ethics committees are a total farce.
Memo to all members of Congress calling for Ethics Committee to investigate Conyers (or anyone else for that matter):
The laws you wrote prohibit accusers from talking about settled complaints with the Ethics Committee#FYI

Between 2007 and 2016, the Senate Ethics Committee imposed zero sanctions against anyone. Zero. https://t.co/xvPONdWSOA

Why would Conyers’ case be any different?
Noted: @NancyPelosi who claims to be the leader in the fight for women’s rights, refuses to call for the resignation of a man who sexually assaulted multiple women, because he is a member of her party.
She is a fraud, she stands for nothing! https://t.co/KxqQodXo8C

Notable that Dems, while calling BuzzFeed report “disturbing” and declaring zero tolerance for such behavior, have not called for Conyers to resign or step aside from Judiciary post https://t.co/4TbuG3JApI

Notable? Sure. Surprising? Not even a little bit.
We have so little tolerance for this behavior that we'll… uh… um… refer the matter to a committee. https://t.co/NlWAluCy04
