Obama Admin Deletes Conflict Of Interest Disclosures For Top Bureaucrats
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 05/26/2016 10:22:20 AM PDT by detective

Conflict of interest disclosure reports filed by top federal officials were removed from public view by the Obama administration in recent months, a move that government transparency and accountability advocates condemn as a major setback.

The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) reports are the primary tool that watchdog journalists, political activists and interested voters can use to guard against presidential appointees using their positions to enrich themselves or others.

The Obama administration - the most transparent ever.

Or at least, the most transparently corrupt.

Congress needs to bring a lawsuit now that all official records are to be maintained and none shall be destroyed.

It is all being exposed by the career bureaucrats who are even more fed up than the population. They are out for blood.

The only thing that surprises me is they actually had that program to begin with.

Was that an intentional pun for the word fed?

I shudder to think what President Trump will have to deal with. It will make the 2001 transition seem like a cakewalk.

I’m sure that they have the public’s best interests at heart. (/sarcasm)

Hopefully the Trump administration will put a few of the most egregiously guilty in prison and then fire tons of people. I don’t actually have that much confidence in people being let go until I see it happen. Even the much lorded Reagan pretty much kept all of Carter’s appointees and all the CFR/ TC traitors and globalists. I believe the federal government about doubled in size during Reagan’s tenure. A really strong message needs to be sent. All the unconstitutional czars that act as a surrogate congress - gone on day 1. Entire departments need to be gutted and shackled. The globalist mostly democrat but some republican parasites will dig in and not go without a fight and the media and both parties will be on the side of the bureaucracy. This will be a war and many would advocate an assassination attempt gladly before surrendering. I just hope Trump can stay strong and on a solid anti-globalist - treasonous path. I’d hate to see him pick a rino VP and then merge with the establishment and stack his administration with globalist sympathizers like Reagan did. Time will tell...
