There is no blind trust, and no separation from family.

The director of the Office of Government Ethics is taking President-elect Donald Trump to task over his announced plan to separate himself from his vast business empire, saying the steps laid out today “cannot achieve” the goal of removing conflicts of interest.

“We can’t risk creating the perception that government leaders would use their official positions for profit,” OGE Director Walter Shaub said at the Brookings Institution Wednesday. “That’s why I was glad in November when the president-elect tweeted that he wanted to, as he put it, ‘in no way have a conflict of interest’ with his businesses. Unfortunately, his current plan cannot achieve that goal.”

        The problem here is a double edge sword. It’s no secret bill is good buddies with trump and if the more honest press wants to take down trump in the name of truth They will have to take down fox news with him.

        See where I’m going with this ?

          no. fox cares about money and power – if it’s to their advantage to be part of the destruction, they will lead with a loud and almost coherent war cry.

        not sure 99. the efforts against Obama were more towards racial maladies in the states and also fear of a man with great integrity. With the pisspot you all are awaiting, it’s directed at a fkn criminal who cars nothing for any one here or anywhere else.

    It’s not only the Press, Billy-boy. It’s a vast majority of Americans.
