Drain the swamp?
On Thursday, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) introduced five ethics reform bills that he felt would actually "drain the swamp" in Washington ,D.C. Sasse explained, "Everybody talks about draining the swamp but nobody actually does it. Both parties talk a big game on the campaign trail, but then look the other way as soon they get a taste of power. These bills are going chafe both parties and, frankly, that’s the only way this gets done.â€
Sasse's legislation would:
1. Prohibit cabinet members and their immediate family from soliciting donations from foreign sources . . .
2. Require that presidential and vice-presidential candidates’ tax returns are disclosed . . .
3. Create a public database of congressional HR settlements, make disclosure quicker, and increase personal financial liability for members of Congress . . .
4. Prohibit members of Congress from buying or selling stocks during their time in office . . .
5. Institute a lifetime ban on members of Congress making money lobbying . . .
How does this impact: Strozok, Comey, Rosenstein, Mueller, Obama, Clinton, Bush, Page, Yates, Brennan, Clapper, Kerry, the media serving as an arm of the Democats .... et al?
Want to keep congress honest? Pass term limits. Want to keep foreign money out of politics, enforce the laws on the books. Want to uproot the deep state ... end security clearances concurrent with employment and appoint a second special counsel to put their asses in front of a grand jury and not behind it.
