At this point I can't tell you that it's NOT true.  But I can say I don't believe it.  At best, IMHO, it is taken WAY out of context and spun with a serious agenda.

A VERY brief search turned up this:

The Office of Congressional Ethics investigates midsconduct, and makes referrals to the House Ethics Committee.

The new rules removes three of the four Democratic board members, and prevents hiring new staff after one month.

It sounds like the new rule is to weaken the Democrats ability to foist fake investigations against Republicans.

That's like saying they are passing new laws against murder so that people with guns, like Eppy, won't go around killing people.

I think you have the last paragraph convoluted.  I think you mean passing laws against guns so the law abiding won't commit murder. We all know gun laws are only meant to purposely take away the rights of law abiding citizens in reality.

Could be.  I was in a hurry and I just threw that in. My point was that the media an so-called "social influencers" often takes things out of context, or spin things in an incorrect manner, sort of like when someone on a web site makes a statement, then someone else says "so what you are saying is . . . " then says something completely opposite of what you meant.

In essence he's saying since they removed Democrats it is not likely they will launch investigations on themselves.
