One of the stories had a part of the conversation, email I think, between the two donors of the funds. I don't recall the exact words but it was pretty clear they understood this was not a campaign donation but money to help him out with personal matters. That is not illegal. Should it be?

Pelosi was correct to call for a House Ethics investigation, because I think that is the only correct way to hold Weiner properly accountable.<br /><br />I won't call for his resignation until we know the full extent of what he did - or didn't do.
