Ethics Watchdog: Trump Ethics Plan 'Meaningless'
Wednesday, January 11, 2017 06:43 PM

By: Cathy Burke

 
President-elect Donald Trump's new ethics plan to avoid business-related conflicts of interest is being slammed by experts as "meaningless."

The head of the nonpartisan Office of Government Ethics, Walter Shaub, took especially sharp aim at Trump's announcement Wednesday that he wouldn't sell his business while serving as president, saying instead the company would only pursue U.S. deals and not foreign ones, Politico reported.

"I need to talk about ethics today because the plan the president has announced doesn't meet the standards that the best of his nominees are meeting and that every president in the past four decades has met," Shaub said at a news conference hosted by the Brookings Institution, Politico reported.

Interesting. Non partisan "watch dogs" commenting on this. I am curious how non partisan these fellows in the article are?

nonpartisan Office of Government Ethics, Walter Shaub: Appointed by OBAMA on Jan 2013

Norm Eisen: Was a ethics lawyer for OBAMA. Co founded the leftist group CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics)

Robert Weissman: President of Public Citizen, a group founded by Ralf Nader to attack companies and promote Communism.


Some real independent thinking going on in this half assed article.
