Here’s a scenario: a Congressional candidate has an affair with her campaign manager. She divorces her husband. He divorces his wife. They marry. But all the while, she’s been paying his company for his political services. Legal? Probably. Ethical? Well that’s the question before the House Ethics Committee. What about the Congressional candidate who paid herself a salary for running? Same 2 questions -- Legal? Ethical?
