(53,758 posts)Just the fact that she thinks she did nothing wrong is not just enough to the hell out of her, but it's enough to expel her from office.

(8,199 posts)"After the intern filed a police report, Ms. Giddings shared a blog post on her Facebook page and in her newsletter that included a photo of the intern, her full name and other identifying information. She also disparaged the woman in the posts.
In April, Ms. Giddings denied sharing the information in an ethics committee meeting. During the meeting, a member of the committee showed lawmakers that the post was still on the representatives Facebook page."
Also from the NYTimes article: "House members who voted for censure said they did so partly because Ms. Giddings had at one point lied about sharing the interns personal information while under oath."
