... that we know that we can kinda trust. Kinda ironic that given his position, he can't talk too much about what he's doing.

There are none.

OK. I'll play! Name one Republican person of integrity in the house or senate!

... at least in the sense that he's not a serial liar, and he does respect our US Constitution and laws. However he's leaving the employment of Uncle Sam real soon.

I can not think of anyone, at least not anyone with a high enough profile that they could come to mind. And by a "Bell Curve standard", I mean one that would even allow someone like Nikki Haley to pass. She's long gone now. I suppose perhaps the current C.I.A. and F.B.I. directors might pass. They are about to be tested again. Probably they will either crumble or be ousted.

OK, I just thought of one. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats. And he is rumored to have one and a half feet out the door.

Trump is weeding out all of his appointees who have a shred of integrity.

That's for sure. Once upon a time it might have been possible for a potential appointee to think of Trump as an egotistical buffoon with a malevolent character, who might be willing to let some real professionals manage the hard parts of governing behind the scenes so Trump wouldn't have to be bothered or make any embarrassing glaring errors. No room left for any "wishful thinking", only fully willing co-conspirators need now apply.
