This isn’t promising.
Via Raw Story:
The government agency in charge of overseeing ethics in the federal government and policing conflicts of interest has struggled to contact members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team since Election Day.
In emails obtained by MSNBC, Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Director Walter Shaub wrote that his agency’s attempts at outreach to the incoming administration have been met with silence.
“We seem to have lost contact with the Trump-Pence transition since the election,” Shaub said.
Or, perhaps more precisely, what this promises is something dark and wicked, coming this way like an out of control freight train.
UPDATE: Just a thought, but I'm now wondering if this whole ethics battle wasn’t the impetus behind the GOP’s recent initial move to gut ethical oversight.
