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 guess these idiots don’t realize that corporate money is what got Biden “elected” in the first place.
