Dem lawmaker says Trump administration has kicked ethics standards 'to the curb'

Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) says the Trump administration is kicking ethics standards “to the curb.”

“I’m very concerned about classified, high-security clearances being given to non-military, to non-personnel that do not meet the criteria for classified information, i.e., family,” Lawrence, who serves on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball in an interview that aired on Friday.

Lawrence said government officials have processes and protocols they are expected to follow and she argued that those who don't follow ethics standards should be held accountable.

"We have rules and we have processes and protocols that I’m expected to follow,” she continued. “This administration has just kicked that to the curb and you see these unexplainable activities.”

he doesn't even know the meaning of the word. He has even managed to pass it on to three of his children.

early in 2017, there were people at Mar-A-Lago taking selfies with the guy that carries the nuclear football. WTF?

That alone would have generated televised hearings under any other president, R or D. Now, it's just a long forgotten scandal buried under the hundreds of scandals since that time
