Well it's happened and that's that.
It seems as though the story is true but has largely been ignored by the mainstream electronic media.

WorldNetDaily: Feinstein quits committee under war-profiteer cloud

Another fine example of the temtations of corruption in government that knows no partisian boundaries. Dem or Repugs, they are all the same. Give them the power in the halls of Congress and watch them hang themselves. I can't believe she really thought she would get away with steering those contracts to her husbands companies. She should resign her seat in the Senate for being the corrupt louse she is in Congress if the allegations prove to be true.

Quote:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has abruptly walked away from her responsibilities with the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee after a report linked her votes to the financial well-being of her husband's companies, which received billions of dollars worth of military construction contracts she approved
And her husband Richard Blum is allegedly responsible for some other cruel apects in this case as well:

Quote:
"Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases – often without the benefit of competitive bidding – to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife's watch," he wrote
.

And the Democrats promised to eliminate corruption in Congress.:rolleyes: Anyone who believes that should line up to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
