Appointed by Obama and headed to the Campaign Legal Center, a leftist organization opposed to the Citizens United decision. Why was this guy such a long holdover? Why didn’t he stand on principle and resign when Trump assumed office?

Office Government Ethics?

Can we just go ahead and fill the office space from floor to ceiling with cement?

or his old boss, BO’B

Frankly, before it disappears, to find how the total amount BO’B has spent on his little anti-s in government positions should be the desire of all citizens. Not to mention how much he has remaining after paychecks are distributed

Perhaps he wanted to stick around long enough to help install more Trojan horses in the government apparatus.

He was one of the leaders of the cabal that tried to get DJT to sell his holding at a fire sale loss. You can bet that he and his ilk would have been the first vultures feeding on the carcass of his empire.

He writes a letter to “The President” to resign, and never mentions Trump’s name.

Mr. Ethical nows goes to work for an entity funded by George Soros.

Nothing more unethical than that.

WDC is full of morons like this loser. His ethics-focused career is merely a cover for his complete lack of ethics and his sociopathy. Kind of like homos being boyscout leaders.
