"White House Details Ethics Waivers for Ex-Lobbyists and Corporate Lawyers"

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/31/us/p ... .html?_r=0

Read it and weep.
No, really.
The Trump White House has issued more ethics waivers in four months than the Obama White House did in eight years.

Breitbart is now the official propaganda arm for the Administration. Bannon runs back and forth between Breitbart and the Oval Office. And he got a "retroactive" ethics waiver, which is an admission that he broke ethics rules already.

There are a bunch of lobbyists on Trump's staff who can still lobby for former clients. :shock:
And there are more waivers coming for Federal employees not on his staff.

It will be interesting to see which conservatives here will now argue that it's fine to have a White House full of lobbyists for both private sector and political organizations. I'm guessing all of them will.

Trump is draining the swamp which is causing libtards to melt down.

I see the FOXnews link shut you up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Suddenly you have no comments on the fetid swamp inside the White House that FOXnews just verified.
FOXnews is not "libtards", or are you throwing them under the bus too?

Those waivers were not granted as favors....but are necessary to allow them
to do their work for the administration.....
It's right there in the links...Clown.. :lol:

Yeah, what Administration can function without full time lobbyists on staff? :shock:

Corporate handlers are absolute necessities to conservatives.

Look at the Podesta brothers, who both lobbied for Russian firms.

Or Hillary's uranium deal and the speaking fees Bill got as "payment" therefor.

If you want to make the general argument that K Street has too much influence, probably 99.9 percent of all Americans would concur.

The point is, johnny, that Trump has taken the Washington swamp to a whole new level, and you clowns are still applauding him.

You, at the very least, are condoning it with posts such as your last one here.
You're still all upset at Obama's Administration for doing much less, but your now acting as an apologist for Trump.

At what age do Army Rangers hang up their testicles and say 'Aww, fuck the Constitution!' ?
Whatever age that is, you've surpassed it.

The swamp is being drained, Clown....otherwise why would the Demos be so upset
about the Comey firing.....the guy that's causing all the grief you and the rest
of the cupcakes are experiencing now... :o :lol:

"The swamp is being drained, Clown....otherwise why would the Demos be so upset

Uhhh, do you think maybe it could be they're upset about the Comey firing because the swamp ISN'T being drained?
I just explained that to you, silly. Pay attention.
The firing was most likely an attempt to cover up the worst festering swamp a White House has ever known.

Doesn't it bother you even a little bit that Trump has four full time active corporate lobbyists on his inner staff? Aren't Washington lobbyists one of the things you used to pretend to be upset about? Not to mention the fact that Trump now has a direct personal propaganda arm in Breitbart? He doesn't bother to talk to the press any more. Are you really okay with that?

You pretend to dislike "the swamp" but are silent as Trump is systematically cultivating the biggest swamp this country has ever known within his Administration. This time he's even TELLING you he's doing it, and you just sit there as oblivious as a drooling child while he does.

Hes still not as crooked and full of shit, Anti American, white hating, racist POS as Ojackass.

"Hes still not as crooked and full of shit, Anti American, white hating, racist POS as Ojackass."-namandgulfdumbfuck

So he's just crooked enough and full of shit enough and anti-American to a degree you conservatives can live with, eh, namandgulfdumfuck?


You fucking hypocritical conservatives... "OK, so he's a scumbag, but he's not as bad as your scumbag was, so I'm fine with it. We must be pragmatic about these things."

Really... that's what has become of the conservatives here. :shock:

^^^^^ Hypocritical conservative case in point.

Not a peep of criticism for Trump's four official staff corporate lobbyists. He's fine with it because it's HIS guys now.

It is much more complex than that.

Look at Hillary's uranium deal, and the Podesta lobbying. The whole story of the Clinton Foundation was a cesspool of lobbyists and foreign interests paying to gain access to a former and possibly a future prez.

Is the influence of K Street almost always insidious and does it affect every party?

Of course.
