GOP top priority: weaken ethics

[kmoney]

:doh: so now we have a president who doesn't understand or care about conflicts of interest and representatives that don't understand or care about oversight.

I am happy that Trump criticized the move but it seemed like his point was about priorities instead of the actual change.


For those who haven't heard, they took the independence out of an ethics oversight committee.

What Is The Office Of Congressional Ethics? Republicans Kill Independent Watchdog Group
http://www.ibtimes.com/what-office-...icans-kill-independent-watchdog-group-2468749

"The Office of Congressional Ethics, comprised of six board members and their staff, was created by Congress and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi following a string of lobbying scandals in 2008. Pelosi was just one of many outraged by the House’ decision to nix the office."

I wonder if Donald Trump see's the Independent Ethics Office as a way to bribe committee members into blackmailing Republican Congressmen into going along with his left wing agenda.

You still are here? Looking through the political topics page it appears that they are mostly initiated by the craziest of the bunch. They are never going to listen to reason, but live here only so they can strengthen their delusion that they are among a majority. I'm actually surprised that Trump hasn't found TOL considering his attraction to the likes of Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Julian Assange and Vladimir Putin.
