WickedsDesire -> RE: Ethics Office Director Walter Shaub Resigns (7/6/2017 11:08:59 PM)

So he is going because he cannot drain the Trump swamp - a shity sludge of hideous aspect
Anyway I thought there was a law to prevent this happening - whats it called again?
Mind you the corrupt lying fuk orange cunt nutter is above the law - but you all know that. As is half his team apparently.
Who seen that coming eh!
Fek that was some interview - he effectively calls him a corrupt fuk and unfit for office unlike your bawlless senate
Walter Shaub could see the writing on the wall. The government ethics watchdog's attempts to review possible conflicts of interest among the Trump administration were frequently thwarted. His calls for greater transparency in the White House were disregarded. His recommended reforms to strengthen his office's oversight abilities were shrugged off.
The job of a government ethics watchdog is almost always a thankless one. In the age of Trump, however, it was more than that. It was pointless. The president and his staff are the ones who determine what is and isn't ethical. They're setting their own rules, and they are the only ones holding themselves accountable
In January, he said the proposal would not remove conflicts of interest, and did not match the "standards" of US presidents over the last 40 years.
"Every president in modern times has taken the strong medicine of divestiture," he said, referring to a process where Mr Trump would sell off his corporate assets and put the profits into a blind trust run by an independent trustee.
The OGE faced similar stresses in certifying Mr Trump's Cabinet nominees, many of whom had considerable financial assets and business interests.
