You're only in trouble if you get caught... or not

Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-Indiana) apparently isn't in trouble even though he got caught.

Although an investigation found evidence that campaign contributions were linked to earmarks of federal funds for the donors, the House Ethics Committee decided not to bother even asking him any questions.

So... what's the point of having an Ethics Committee?
