Fun to watch? Trump Rebukes House Republicans Over Bid to Gut Ethics Office.

'President-elect Donald J. Trump criticized House Republicans on Tuesday for their surprise move to gut an independent congressional ethics office on the eve of a new legislative session, saying they should focus instead on domestic policy priorities such as health care and a tax overhaul.

In a pair of postings on Twitter, Mr. Trump called the Office of Congressional Ethics “unfair,” but he said focusing on it now was a case of misplaced priorities. He appended the hashtag “DTS,” an apparent allusion to his promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington.'>>>
