Mapping Corruption:
The Interactive Exhibit
The Trump administration has brought its brand of corruption and self-dealing to every agency in the federal government, and its hard for anyone to keep on top of it all. Weve mapped it out for you. Click on any agency building below, and unlock an extensive dossier of the activities happening inside.

APPARATCHIKS
Politico reviewed 42 resumes of the departments political appointees. Twenty-two had worked on the Trump presidential campaign.
The list of appointees included a long-haul truck driver, a clerk at AT&T, a meter reader for a gas company, a country club cabana attendant, the owner of a scented-candle company, a Republican National Committee intern, and a former Washington state senator who mentioned on his résumé that he was the first elected official in his state to back Trumps candidacy.
The truck driver, Nick Brusky, received a GS-12 job, paying nearly $80,000 a year, at the departments Foreign Agricultural Service. Although he had never been involved in developing international markets for farm products, Brusky pointed out that he had experience hauling and shipping agricultural commodities.

(25,949 posts)General rule of thumb - links don't always end in .html but if you see that set of letters, it's the end of the link. If you don't (and the above link is a good example) usually everything after a '?' is just tracking data. Hope that helps!
