Roll Call is reporting today that U.S. Rep. Robert Andrews (D-Haddon Heights) told the House Ethics Committee that he is in talks with Goldman Sachs about taking a job with the Wall Street investment firm. 

According to Roll Call, "Andrews filed his paperwork with the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, as the ethics committee is formally known, late last week. Pursuant to House rules, Andrews is now required to recuse himself from any official business involving Goldman Sachs that might cause or appear to cause a conflict of interest."

In a conversation with Roll Call, Andrews’ chief of staff, Bill Caruso, would not comment on whether Andrews  plans to leave Congress before the end of his term.

 

 

Patronage Job

I guess since Commerce Bank got bought out, and Remington & Vernick isn't doing well, the only other Democrat patronage mill left is Goldman Sachs.

I'm not sure what Andrews is qualified for. He never got money for his congressional district, so I doubt he will be any good at getting contracts for Goldman.

Duh

You miss the point....by going to Goldman he will now be eligible to come back to the Administration.
