Bro literally did the bare minimum to hold a colleague accountable for embezzlement. The reason why we haven’t used expulsion for this before is that most other times someone is caught with so much overwhelming evidence against them and a unanimous bipartisan ethics committee determination, their party distances themselves from the appearance of corruption by calling on them to resign.
Rather than credit people who did the bare minimum in their duties to stand up against blatant corruption, maybe we should be instead looking at the Republicans and Democrats who voted Nay, Present, or Not Voting and asking them why they think this kind of corruption is okay.
