Watchdog Files Ethics Complaint against Hastings, Staffer
By Paul Kiel - March 8, 2007, 1:52 PM

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has filed its third ethics complaint of the prosecutor purge scandal. And this one's a doozy -- it's against Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA), the ranking member of the ethics committee, and his former chief of staff Ed Cassidy.

CREW is calling for Hastings to "step down from his position on the committee pending an investigation into his conduct.”

The complaint, of course, involves former U.S. Attorney John McKay's testimony that Ed Cassidy (who currently works for Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH)) called him about whether his office was investigating charges of voter fraud in the 2004 gubernatorial election.
