US ethics office struggled to gain access to Trump Team, emails show
6 Hours Ago
NBC NEWS


The office tasked with overseeing ethics and conflicts in the federal government struggled to gain access to leaders of the Trump transition team, and warned Trump aides about making decisions on nominees or blind trusts without ethics guidance, according to new emails obtained by MSNBC.

Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub emailed Trump aides in November to lament that despite his office's repeated outreach, "we seem to have lost contact with the Trump-Pence transition since the election."

Trump aides may also be risking "embarrassment for the President-elect," Shaub warned, by "announcing cabinet picks" without letting the ethics office review their financial information in advance.

Won't it be easier to say who won't have a conflict of interest?
 
Meh, you lost, get over it ! Hilary is dishonest !

Im ok with calling shit out but after watching the left on here support and ignore some egregious examples of corruption and conflicts by Hillary Clinton its just so hard to take it seriously.

It just blows my mind that you don't see Trump being just as corrupt. How many times has Trump been sued for fraud, the civil suits, civil rights suit, or sexual issues. He is no saint, don't get brainwashed...but you prob think that is all BS or OK.

Please provide some specific examples with evidence beyond conjecture and innuendo.

This is really relevant as most of Trump's cabinet will be coming from the private sector, where they never had to release their tax returns to the public. They are stalling, and they're going to get away with it, and the same people who bitched about no one having time to read the ACA, and insufficient immigrant vetting, and Presidents in the last year of their term not appointing SCJs will ignore it for cabinet appointees.

"Useless office mad trump doesn't take their business advice" just isn't newsworthy

Thanks for clarifying. Isn't newsworthy is very different than fake news. One deals with your opinion and the other with fact.

Blows my mind how many people don't understand what fake means.
 
Trump ain't got no time for no Office of Government Ethics. He's got a country to make great. Either help out or get out of the way.
