IT LOOKS LIKE ALL NORMS AND ETHICAL STANDARDS ARE A THING OF THE PAST.
Donald Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary (Wilbur Ross) admitted at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday that he had employed an undocumented household worker for seven years.
In 1993 both Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood were forced to withdraw their names from nominations for AG when it was discovered that they had both employed baby sitters that were undocumented.
(Our president-elect has also employed undocumented workers. Google Trump/Polish workers.)
President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for White House budget director (Mick Mulvaney) failed to pay more than $15,000 in payroll taxes for a household employee, he admitted in a statement to the Senate Budget Committee, the sort of tax compliance issue that has derailed cabinet nominees in the past.
In 2009 Tom Daschle was forced to withdraw his name from consideration to head the Department of Health and Human Services because he failed to pay taxes on the free use of a car and driver provided to him by a friend.
It seems that the man now chosen to head up HHS has been enriching himself by buying stocks and then introducing legislation that would financially benefit the companies he bought the stock in, thus driving up the price of the stock.
IS THAT DRAINING THE SWAMP?
I DON'T THINK SO.
