DOJ corporate compliance watchdog resigns citing Trump's conduct

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A top Justice Department official who serves as a corporate compliance watchdog has left her job, saying she felt she could no longer force companies to comply with the government's ethics laws when members of the administration she works for have conducted themselves in a manner that she claims would not be not tolerated.

Hui Chen had served in the department’s compliance counsel office until she resigned in June, breaking her silence in a LinkedIn post last week titled "Mission Matters," which points to the Trump administration’s behavior as the reason for her job change.

“To sit across the table from companies and question how committed they were to ethics and compliance felt not only hypocritical, but very much like shuffling the deck chair on the Titanic," Chen wrote.

The former federal prosecutor pointed to the multiple lawsuits filed against President Trump questioning the legality of his ties to his family business empire.

1. Behold an honorable person.

Problem is, if all the honorable people leave, only they hypocrites will be left.

2. I have

a Republican friend who elected NOT to run this past year for a state position because he could not go door-to-door to face people and defend the Repug's candidate.

Too bad we don't have more people like Hui Chen and my friend - we'd be in a much better place.

3. This is bad

More and more of the watchdogs or people who can hold him to the law are leaving...this will enable them to run rampant in our government when these positions are replaced with bobble heads who does not stand up to this administration. We are losing our democracy.

4. I wonder

If this is somehow connected with Eric Holder's recent tweet to the DOJ staff to 'stay strong'?
