WASHINGTON, D.C. – Iowa Congressman Rod Blum, who represents counties in North Iowa, will remain under investigation for his alleged business dealings connected to an online company he owns.
According to DCC.org, Republican Congressman Rod Blum allegedly hid his role as CEO of an internet company called Tin Moon. The site reported, “Earlier this year, an Associated Press report revealed that Blum hid his role as CEO of Tin Moon, an internet marketing firm that profits from burying damaging information online about companies with questionable practices, including FDA healthy and safety violations. Blum, a member of the House Small Business Committee and House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, was caught using taxpayer resources to promote the company, including wearing his official pin in promotional materials and featuring his top staffer in testimonial videos.”
Blum has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. This week, the Ethics Committee announced their investigation into Blum will continue.
Blum was elected to Congress in 2014 as Iowa’s 1st Congressional District Representative.

I guess he should have sold the Russians 25% of our uranium for millions and not a word whimpered by the MSM Nazi’s – what a bunch of filthy swamp dwellers they are !
Stay on topic dummy. Blum is a crook.
Hitlery Clinton and oboso have so far avoided prison – but ! – A NEW AG will see to their sedition . Folks the fun has yet to start.
No big deal homies. We give Trumpie a pass Dumb Blum gets one too. It would help his case however if he were grabbing more pootang.
Watching the swamp drain in real time. It almost as if these various politicians are point men and women of a criminal organization. The spectacle of the Kavanaugh hearings shows just how ridiculous the politicians can be. The democrat party seems to be brainwashing the masses with their ideology of minority rules. Just when did women become a minority as they outnumber men in our population. Hidden behind these politicians is a cleverly designed ‘deep state’ of sore losers. And republicans are clearly in the pockets of those who would have us at war 24/7. Rod Blum is just another peion in the game.
Blum is another Republican crook.
Politics 101. Lame
How come old bartzie in worth county is not being held accountable by using his elected office for financial gain ? Answer – just a member of the elite in worthless county.
A Republican using shady practices to fill his and his buddies pockets full of money…… Say it isn’t so!
A elected person doing unlawful things? You mean this happens outside of the Whitehouse? Who’d thought.
What say yea madam chairwoman on ethics. Is Rodney Blum guilty of the offense of groping also. For the sake of the unholy alliance of the #metoo movement he must be righteously condemned. For in the wings waits a fair and lovely woman to take his seat. Abby will help flip the house in far off Washington DC to the democrats. If only for the sake of the saintly Ms Hillary Rodham Clinton we must condemn him of the offense of groping. We can still win as the public at large still doesn’t see our grab for power and most importantly MONEY. We will show them the wrath of the great Babylon of lore. Roflmao
And as the great Lahore of India lore takes the throne the world will end with a whimper…poof! lmao
