WFB: Democratic Senate hopeful John Hickenlooper’s ethics hearing has been pushed back more than a month due to coronavirus fears.
The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission announced Monday that the start of Hickenlooper’s hearing has been postponed from March 24 to April 28, according to Colorado Politics. The former presidential candidate is accused of accepting free private jet rides during his time as governor in violation of the state’s constitution.
The postponement could serve to hurt Hickenlooper, the favorite of national Democratic leadership, as the hearing was pushed closer to the state’s June 30 Senate primary. Hickenlooper faces a strong primary challenge from progressive Andrew Romanoff. In early March, Romanoff polled 25 points higher than Hickenlooper among voters in a primary preference vote taken during the state’s Democratic caucuses. read more

President Hickenlooper. Senator Hickenlooper. Neither one sounds believable to most of Colorado right now. How about Defendant Hickenlooper?
Is this delay properly called a reprieve?
Given the Trump heel on the throat of the GOPe, is there any other kind of ethics slime than “(D) Ethics”?
