Its clear she had a conflict of interest but its hard for me to understand how she had any control over contracts approved by the Milcom subcommittee when she was in the minority from 2001 to 2005.

She should have abstained from any votes in which her husband''s company may have been a beneficiary. But, the Senate Ethics Committee under the Repubs saw no reason to initiate an ethics investigation against her.

So... ace...do you have any links that show how she "may have directed" any decisions by the subcommittee or that she was "up to her ears in the same sort of shenanigans that landed California Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (he took $1 million in bribes) in the slammer"?
