"The head of the federal Office of Government Ethics on Wednesday denounced President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to separate the presidency from his business empire as “wholly inadequate” and said it does not meet the standards met by the “best of his nominees.”
“The ethics program starts at the top,” Director Walter Shaub said at a Brookings Institution forum in Washington. “We can’t risk creating the perception that government officials will use their positions for personal profit.”

"House Republicans reacted swiftly, summoning Shaub to appear before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about his office and his public criticism of Trump."

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
All of a sudden they care now?
Whatever.
Ethical behavior from Trump -but rapaciuos pay forplay by Clinton -who REALLY DID GET RICH off her connections -while using the Clinton Foundation as a transportation/expense account trust fund??.....
Anyways..it's EZ for pinheads to say "divest"and "blind trust" when in fact that wouldbe a significant financial penalty forTrump for WINNING an election.
Nelson Rockefeller ( the closest ex. we have) wasn't forced to divest/blind trust.
There was a very good ethics presentation yesterday before the Trump press conference .
Id suggest those thoughtful / workable bow to ethics ( as in conflicts ofinterst) be studied before the pinheads are listened to
