Trump exempts senior staff from ethics rules | TheHill
Quote:
The White House on Wednesday evening released its list of waivers to the Trump administration ethics pledge, exempting at least a dozen White House officials from the rules.


The list includes ex-lobbyists who joined the administration to work on policy areas they had covered for their K Street clients. Two comprehensive waivers give whole swaths of White House employees a waiver from the ethics pledge.



Trump’s ethics pledge, contained in an executive order, came along with promises that he would “drain the swamp” of the Washington influence industry.
Bbbbbuttttt he said he was gonna drain the swamp!1!1!1!1!1! MAGA!!111!!!!11!!!

What's unethical about it? I thought BO was the most honest POTUS in history according to the Left. Where was your unethical faux outrage when he promised the same thing and made a ton more waivers than Trump did?

Lightbulb Trump exempts senior staff from ethics rules

Ethics are for little people.

Pub voters don't know 'bout no ethics.

Oh yes it is, it shows your superb hypocrisy along with others here. You were probably one of those nuts that fainted when Obama was speaking about how not a single lobbyist was going to be a part of his administration, then said absolutely nothing when he hired a ****load of them.
