DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 19, 2021.
Executive Order 13770, entitled “Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees,” is an executive order issued by US President Donald Trump on January 28, 2017, that directs executive branch employees on a ban from becoming a lobbyist for five years.
Good one. The other side would ignore the anti-lobbying provision and not be prosecuted by Corrupt Joe’s DOJ, while only Trump’s people would abide by it, or get prosecuted if they did not.
The other thing it does is force Biden’s hand. The commu...er, more progressive part of the Biden Base wants the ethics standards raised to the level of cutting off some of the money flow from corporate interests and lobbyists.
By exempting his people from the Ethics order, he gives he and his team a legal shield while forcing Biden to tell his starry eyed leftists radicals he won’t accept their terms.
It’s a nice FU on the way out, at least.
i’d still like to see all intel related to ChinaGate and the Cox Report declassified released to the public
that would give people an understanding WHO the clintons are and how long the democrats have been playing for the chinese
...
I’d also like to get anything/everything regarding (off world) aliens declassified ... just for grins :)
That black-robed tyrant from Hawaii will strike that down.
I guess these idiots don’t realize that corporate money is what got Biden “elected” in the first place.
I thought the courts had already ruled that one president can’t revoke another president’s executive order. /s
