Trump skipped over the next in line at Ethics office with someone sympathetic to his

Lapses in ethics. This is the guy who signed the latest "updates" to the financials and security clearance documents.

Just in time to ok Kushner's revised form.

How do you overlook 70 of your business dealings?

Same way you add over 100 names to the security clearance docs.

The mob is in charge, and they are shameless.

Warning that trump would probably try this exact thing. Two days later, here we are. Of course traitorous republicans yawn. It's so far beyond the pale. These assholes have lost ANY moral high ground for anything EVER. They can never again be trusted.
